Among other issues, is the fluid on Titan transparent ?   To light?  Radio waves?  IR?    So, what is a sub going to do for you?  An echo sounder can  get depths and profile the bottom.  If the fluid is opaque to radio waves, you'll have to surface to transmit anything.  

Well according to "Cosmos" tv show lake on Titan might look like this

Also considering that billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have their own space programs and plans and that for some time these new billionaires are eager to donate to space projects, maybe if US had bigger space program billionaires would be more willing to pay their taxes.
