Original Note:
Starlink cannot work under water, it's used by the support vessel ("mothership") NOT the submarine. Submarines rely on low frequencies to be able to receive information while submerged while Starlink operates in the Ka/Ku bands (tens of GHz) which can't reach under water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_submarines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink#Technology
