it depends on how deep the submarine is... do you happen to know that?

It can dive to a depth of 3300

assuming it started at a depth of 3300 feet (units are important)

distance=rate times time
distancce=3300
rate=650ft/min
time=mins=m

3300=650m
divide both sides by 650
330/65=m
5.07692=m

about 5.08 minutes
