@P@nther:
So in my scenario the defending sub can submerge and avoid taking the hit ???
No. The decision to submerge is made in the “Press Attack or Retreat Step”.
This is before rolling the dice again.
Ah! Enlightenment. Many thanks :-)

Attacking Subs
1.   Can subs retreat during different combat cycles to other retreating attacking units?
2.   If so, do they have to submerge together, or can they submerge separately as individual units (ie during different combat cycles)??Defending Subs
3.   Do subs have to submerge together in same combat cycle, or can they submerge as individual units in different combat cycles? -
All subs have to act together, but can act independently of other units in battle.

This is wrong. Craig has it correct above. One thing he didn’t mention is that one/some/all attacking subs may even submerge in the same cycle that the rest of the attacking force retreats.
From the rulebook (pg 32, emphasis mine):
A submarine may submerge in combat after the attacker and defender have fired, regardless of
what other units do.ÂThis verifies that each sub’s ability to submerge is independent of the actions of the other units involved in the combat.
Now, my question: who sumberges first in a scenario where there are subs on both sides? Attacking subs or defending subs? Does it matter?

Yeah I know… I was just adding it as an interesting point.
