I would imagine actually that there are far less submarines in the worlds oceans today then say.. 25 years ago.

Whats happening is that the Submarine is now suprisingly afordable, and avaliable on the open market. Given how flexable the platform is, its unique ability to level the playing field somewhat in naval warfare, and the emergence of multiplue regional conflicts... its not suprising that the number of countries owning one is on the increase.
