To: ICE-FLYER

Do you suppose this Chicom sub was diesel-electric? Just how quiet are diesel electric subs these days? I know a bit about sub technology, but it is rather dated and I’ve heard that diesel-electrics are more of a challenge than they used to be, but I’m not terribly sure why this would be.

Just wondering.
