I don't know how often this subs actually "attack". Subs seem to be used more nowadays for intelligence gathering, especially top secret stuff.
I actually talked to the officer that I know that worked on the similar sub, the USS Parche, talked about in the cnn article. He thinks it's funny all the speculation about what he sub actually did... Guess it's talked about up there in Washington (the state) a lot. Of course, he could neither confirm nor deny anything. My guess is that the sub launches out of the water and he's been exploring Mars
