How would it communicate stealthily?

It wouldn't because it wouldn't be stealthy.

Why does everyone assume you need wireless communication? You can have a cable running between the submarine and the drone, same channel would be used to power the sub.

Like a Medusa. Submarines would get scarier.

That is a lot of heavy, droopy, cable (if it is going to be able to withstand the stresses and ‘unkindness’ of the ocean) which is very likely to get tangled in things like spinning propellers unless very carefully managed.

Also, fishing trawlers, whales, etc.
