submarine like a fish?

By the pace of technology advances, even apparently fool ideas could become reality in no time...
Does anyone know anything about this idea?

Might be a good idea if the sub wanted to creep along very quiet. I don't know about that specific design though.

Yes of course I do, but I promised not to tell anyone while stationed at the Naval Electronics Labatory ...

Please send fifty dollars cash for any further discussion on this matter

I just can't see any submarine captain wanting to issue the order

I saw a documentary regarding that mode of propulsion, but it geared toward torpedoes. One of the advantage was the capability to turn on a dime at high speed. That would help within the speed of acquisition of a target then strike faster.
