Hopefully, they don't lose 1/3rd of their navy accidentally... again.

Why are you hoping that they don't? Given the shenanigans the Iranian navy has been up to, promoting much of it to submersible status would be a good thing.

Well, to be honest, this was a sarcastic comment to the time the US did accidentally sink more of their navy than intended. (A little more than 1/3 if their operational force.) The original goal was only 4 platforms IIRC. It may have grown a scotch before the end.

Which probably doesn't mean much to the sailors. Hind sight being 20/20 and all. Still a bit of an oops.
