I--with no knowledge whatsoever--suspect that the type of resources it takes to keep a (presumably nuclear) sub running are rather different than those needed to produce underwear, but I agree that the production of clothing should be well within the Resistance's capabilities. I suspect ultimately it's a question of priorities, allocation of resources, and functionality--I doubt very much sexy lingerie is being manufactured, even if it's relatively easy for the Resistance to do so.
I really don't know what type of undergarments would be used by Resistance agents even if they had inexhaustible resources. (Well, I guess if they had inexhaustible resources everyone would just wear whatever he or she preferred. But there'd probaly be pronounced trends, and ones that would be different than those shown in a civilian population, either contemporary or post-apocalyptic.)
