I think I have a bit of a different take on the project than you

Its a lot easier to buy a titan missile silo in the desert and set up a Hidden Sat launch site than it would be to build a Sub which can launch an ICBM and then hide it in a lake.

If you do a google search, you will find decommissioned Titan Missile Sites all over the US with many of them miles and miles away from anyone (Such as the desert or in up state New York).

I just bring it up, as there here, cheap, built to take a Near by Nuke Hit, and have all the needs to launch a missile.

If a Morrow Industries company bought one of these for "tests" of a new defense system (ABM) no one would think anything of it.

I tend to always look for the simple solution instead of the more fantastic.

Thanks
