First of all there is the whole "guns fire/can't
fire underwater" thing.
I found a website thats useful for guns in
general...
http://www.vcircles.com/groups/Firearm/faq/one?faq_id•;
(This and other sites were all found on a google
search for "firearms underwater")
Secondly there is the "Submarines can be detected
using heat trails"

For a number of years in the late 80's I
believe(I'm sure about the ban and the reason,
just not the date), infrared satelite pictures
were classified by the US because they showed up
the trails of heated water left by nuclear subs.
