  1.  @richardstaples8621  for your second query: it is larger for the same sized pressure hull. You can make a slab sided submarine the same displacement but then the pressure hull inside would be much smaller and so you have a less torpedoes, crew, range, and whatever. So if you have two pressure hulls of the same size then an angular shape is going to have triangles covering it, increasing it's displacement over a boat that is merely sheathed.

  2. That is the goal but currently crew is still needed to maintain batteries and torpedoes often enough they need access during cruise. As technology continues in improve in reliability I am positive that external batteries and torpedoes will come about. But for now we are still needing human beings to be able to put their hands on these things

  3. That kind of information probably won't be available until stealth submarines have been in service for decades and we get books written by crew or whatever

  4. I think it's a lot more common to have nuclear powered listening station which can permanently listen to an area rather than a drone which has a temporary lifespan. But on the attack into enemy waters remote sonar station drones make a lot of sense.
