here is an interesting submersible patrol boat made in the US:

Its a tiny wet mini-sub thats only 9.9 meters long built in the US from commerical off the shelf parts. this must be inexpensive:

Is the Multi-Role Combatant Craft (MRCC) is a unique surface planning
wet submersible that provides SOF Operators 4 distinct operational
modes: surface, semi-submerged, submerged, and bottom cache.

Powered on the surface and semi-submerged by a turbo-diesel waterjet
propulsion package in a pressure proof “Engine–Room-in-a-Can” container,
resulting in long range and reduced acoustic and thermal observability.
Submerged power is delivered from battery powered high efficiency
electric thrusters.
An Integrated Bridge System (IBS) provides Forward-looking SONAR,
Flat Screen Displays, Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and Navigation.


The Multi-Role Combatant Craft (MRCC) was developed in support of
United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) requirements and is
currently the only surface planning wet submersible of its type in full
rate production.
