Eventually, we'll probably have massive swarms of small, cheap, robotic drones that can swarm the oceans and search for them with active methods (not caring if they get detected themselves).
I would estimate, not being even remotely qualified, that the number of devices you'd need to effectively search the entire oceans for submarines would be an order or magnitude greater than the number of devices you'd need to search the land for, er, land submarines. I mean, armoured trucks or something. And if such an effort did signal the end of submarines, then what are all your small cheap robot drones actually for now?
Damn things would probably turn around and take over.
