What if they have discovered a stealth technology for subs that makes it impossible to detect them. Our ‘boomers’ would be sitting ducks.

Most submarines are built with an emphasis on stealth.Advanced propeller designs, extensive sound-reducing insulation, and special machinery allow the submarine to be undetected but they have to eliminate the “submarine wake” and the sonar buoyos.In 1984, the U.S. Navy oceanographer aboard the “Challenger” space shuttle into space and successfully to detect other submarines of the ripple. Currently, the U.S. Navy anti-submarine satellite is in space and submarine sonar array, sea anti-submarine ships, air anti-submarine aircraft, together constitute the three-dimensional anti-submarine network.DARPA is working on anti submarine detection warfare.
