Old article, but it seems much closer to reality.

Seems that gases do not need to be ejected from the front of the vessel. If the submarine can generate enough power, it can superheat the tip and basically vaporize the water in front of it.

Probably will be used for sprints to evade torpedos.

Sound in water is nearly 5x that in air. Good luck with that. Need to exceed 5335 km/hr.
