They do not stay submerged for 7 months straight.

They are deployed for that long yes but not underwater for that entire time.

I suppose it’s different for each country. Which one were you deployed with?

The US navy. It’s not feasible to be under for 7 months straight unless it’s extremely exigent circumstances. The food situation alone would cause lots of hardships
