Hi,
I believe in Sub Smash they explored Sky One's underwater capabilities as much
as anywhere else in the show.
They launched Sky One at a down angle. Straker said the angle was enough,
implying that any further down angle would make launch impossible. So, I
really don't think that Sky One has much capability as an independant sub. I
would surmise that redocking would probably be done on the surface.
Sky One could land, probably on skis rather like the old Convair Sea Dart:

In Sub Smash, the pilot of Sky One says that re-docking is impossible with
Skydiver such as it is. It's not clear if that's due to the fact that he's not
in communication with them, or if they would have to initiate the procedure.
