If you want to get a feel for what's involved in designing a range of large scale submarines and some of the fundamental principles of how they operate (which should apply to all scales of sub), get a copy of Concepts of Submarine Design. Read it cover to cover then decide if you still want to build one.
Not trying to put you off, but they're complex and dangerous beasts and should be treated with respect, they can go wrong fast. If you still want to build one after reading, fair play!
Also maybe get The Astute Haynes Manual, it goes into a surprising amount of detail about the design and build programme of a nuclear submarine.
There are probably better books and videos out there specifically relating to submersibles.
If you're looking for more technical information on submarine development, check out Haynes owners' workshop manual for the Astute class. It gives a decent overview of what it is like developing a modern nuclear sub:

If you're interested in any of the politics behind the development of nuclear subs in the US, I would suggest Against the Tide: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NE6QZ88/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_gJCyCbQWBVMBR

This website also gives a good overview about how submarines work in general: http://www.rickcampbellauthor.com/styled/index.html#topics
