There is no way a diesel powered sub could sneak past any US ship. Diesel engines are very loud and can be heard from miles away. The second one is detected in SK waters it would be depth charged into oblivion.

Diesel subs on batteries are the quietest subs of all.

They run on batteries underwater, not diesel engines.

I don’t know about that, There’s no way a USN destroyer can have a high seas collision with a Phillipino freighter. But they did. 8 years of Obama effing up the military apparently worked wonders.
