Yes, their diesel boats, as ALL diesel boats are hell waiting in shallow water.
That’s why they must be sunk when they come up for air.
They would get in a few shots, then cease to exist.
In a war time scenario, they would get in a couple of launches...revealing their position...and then they would be sunk quickly, and our own policies are set up to allow for that.
We would need to scower the shallow waters of them before we sent anything surface vessels in close.
But those same diesel/electrics with AIP do nt have the speed or endurance to touch our surface vessels on the high seas. They can only wait and hope we come close enough to them...or that we try and enter the shallow waters.
All of the carriers and all of the large amphibs are being fit with new high tech anti-torpedoe defenses. Both electronic and active defenses. The electronic will scramble their brains...the active are actually small anti-torpedo torpedoes that lock on the incooming torpedo and destroy it, either by direct hit, or an explosion in front of the incoming torpedo that destroyes it as a result of the blast radius expanding through the water into the oncoming enemy torpedo.
At the same time, if the Chinese surface vessels can get in range, their surface to surface missiles are advanced enough now to seek to saturate the AEGIS system.
This was thwe Soviet doctrine, and it is the Chinese doctrine as well.
Neither the Soviets or the Chinese got close enugh to our capability with their submarines. The new Russian Yassen class would be...but they are so cash poor that they have only been able to launch one of them with the second about to come out...they simply do not have enugh budget to build enough new things, while maintaining what they have...to be a serious competitor on the high seas. What they do have is not bad.
The Chinese on the other hand have the money to build their vessels in numbers...and they are doing so.
