Okay, great conversation here, but lets look at the original question.

"Can a submarine stall?"

Not in the TRUE sense, if it is of convensional design.

What can stall, however, is the control surfaces, providing they have enough travel.

Because I've never piloted a traditional sub, I don't know, but would suspect they do.

Could you feel the shudder in the controls? Likely not, as they're probably fly by

wire. Could you feel the shudder in the sub? I doubt it, but I bet it would create

some noise for the enemy to detect you.

Tom.
