I was just reading about the carrier...
during RIMPAC war games in ‘98 a 60’s era submarine from Australia was able to come within 300 meters and launch green flares.... “sinking” the Carl Vinson.
That is messed up.

D-E boats are really quiet, if run right. Not even a reactor cooling pump...

She may have been 60's era, but she was an Oberon class (HMAS Onslow to be precise) - among the quietest submarines ever built - carrying out the precise mission she was designed for.
