SOSUS was decommissioned by Clinton in the 1990’s.
The NAVFACs were closed.
All that is left is the Naval Ocean Processing Facility at Whidbey Island and the IUSS Operations Support Center at Norfolk, Virginia.

so what's your best guess - were they in the Gulf or not I'm gonna say no. A vessel could go into the Gulf undetected. But I highly doubt that it would go undetected for weeks.

“How are they not relevant? I was comparing the improved Akula class to the improved LA class. They are about the same with the Akula quieter at 5-7 knots.”
When an LA-class sub goes in for an Engineered Overhaul, it gets state-of-the-art upgrades to virtually every system, including propulsion. The refurbished LA-class subs are going to be quieter than the “improved” LA-class subs built 20 years ago.

yeah, and a lot of the credit goes to Toshiba who sold sophisticated, nine axis milling equipment to the Soviets along with the computer control systems to machine their screws...
