And with some of the new fuel cell technologies, it is quite possible that diesel boats can be even quieter than Nukes.

Diesel boats on battery power ARE quieter than Nucs.

The Virginia is 70 times quieter than the Los Angeles was when she was launched. Will a diesel boat get lucky some day - sure. But finding Tridents in the wide open sea for a boat that has limited staying time is next to impossible.
