Iran is thought to have up to six Russian-built SSK or SSI Kilo class diesel submarines. As well as this domestically produced small submarine

How do you make a computer out of the stone-age ?

Iran could do it without effecting other countries.It would actually be in their best interest to do so,to avoid detection from outsiders.

If it were a NSA related tap it would have not been noticed, and certainly wouldn’t disrupt continued traffic by the target.

I read a blurb on ilovebonnie.net that eludes to the US, UK, and Israel. More to come later, they say.

"A sub that can go undetected in waters patrolled by US and UK ships?"

Answer:

Gotland class submarine

For almost a year the US Navy has been hunting a Swedish submarine, the HMS Gotland, off America's west coast.

The hunt is, of course, a one year training programme - but the Americans now want to extend the contract with the Swedish Navy.

Time after time, as part of the Americans' training in tracking down smaller vessels, the Swedish submarine and its crew have eluded their pursuers.

The programme started last summer but the US Navy has said that it would like to hire the Swedish submarine and crew for another year, reported the newspaper Blekinge Läns Tidning.

That is good news as far as the Swedish submarine flotilla is concerned, and it has already requested the government's permission to continue.

"Both the Americans and ourselves are interested in a continuation," said Jens Plambeck, chief of staff at the First Submarine Flotilla in Karlskrona.

The key to the HMS Gotland's success is the Stirling engines which allow the submarine to remain underwater for a unusually long time.

It doesn’t explain all 5 cuts, unless they couldn’t figure out which one went their way and just started cutting at random until they got the desired result :)

[papasmurf]

Google for submarine found in Red Hook or submarine in New York harbor. :)

[papasmurf]

Yeah, but that one was only v1.1. Now, it’s been upgraded to v 1.2./sarc
