Whatever happened to the use of ELF to communicate with subs?

Not sure about that. May have to be how much data can be transmitted via the carrier through the medium of air, through walls, glass, etc.

The USN ELF facility covering the Atlantic is still active near Cutler, Washington County, ME.

ELF is by necessity a low data rate transmission.
In the very far north patrol areas, I can still remember Cutler and Annapolis sounding like they were next door but their signals could not be received if the receiving antenna was very deep. ELF transmission would allow a sub to remain deeper and still receive signals.
