Harry Dean Stanton (Howard) actually served in the navy during WWII.
The diesel submarine used in the movie is the USS Pampanito (SS 383), a WWII submarine currently (2000) on public display at Pier 45 in San Francisco, California.
(at around 7 mins) When Dodge and the Admiral are talking just after Dodge has seen seen the Stingray for the first time, Dodge asks if he's supposed to turn the submarine into a museum. The 'Pampanito', the sub used in the movie, is a museum at pier 45 in San Francisco.
The USS Pampanito could not move under her own power. The underwater shots were scale models. The surface shots actually were the Pampanito; however, she was being towed.
While the movie has been criticized for some of its concepts, many of the underlying ideas of the movie are accurate. Modern diesel submarines (not a retired World War II submarine) using their electric batteries are capable of being notably quieter than nuclear submarines. Many navies operate modern diesel submarines, and the vessels are quite effective in their roles. Experts have criticized the U.S. Navy at various times for not employing a few diesel submarines in the U.S. naval force.

"[during their first dive, Lt. Howard attaches the ends of a string to the opposite sides of the engine room] Lt,. Howard, Chief Engineer: Now... keep an eye on this string, 'cause the water pressure is gonna squeeze the hull of this boat like an empty beer can. [laughs maniacally]"
"Executive Officer Martin T. 'Marty' Pascal: Sonar Technician Second Class, E.T. Lovacelli, sir! Goes by the nickname "Sonar." Lt. Comd. Dodge: Welcome aboard, Sonar. "Sonar" Lovacelli: Uh, 'scuse me, sir. This is an actual Navy submarine? Not a float in a parade or something? Lt. Comd. Dodge: Afraid so, Sonar. "Sonar" Lovacelli: Huh... isn't that odd? [he shuffles past Dodge and starts up the gangplank] Lt. Comd. Dodge: [aside to Pascal] Don't tell me - deaf as Beethoven. Executive Officer Martin T. 'Marty' Pascal: [whispering] Oh, no. Great ears, sir. Watch what you say around him, he hears everything. His last C.O. thought he was a security risk. [at the top of the gangplank, Sonar turns around] "Sonar" Lovacelli: [yells] Uh, excuse me, sir! I don't hear everything. And I'm quite trustworthy too. Lt. Comd. Dodge: Right."
