>>Since the downfall of the Soviet Union, they've improved upon and sold their Tango and Kilo diesel electric subs. They are deathly quiet,

For an idea of how quiet (at least when on battery, and not diesel, power), go out to your garage and listen to your car battery.

I'm curious if this device is shipboard, sub-based, or dipping from a helicopter. Generally, active sonar from a ship or sub is a bad deal, as it shouts *HERE I AM* for enemy targeting purposes. But if it's so powerful, I wonder if a helicopter can power it.

The answer to that question is probably classified.

In peacetime, that shouldn't be a problem although it ruins the game.
