I've seen reports concerning the training use of this Swedish sub for the last couple of years but the scenarios are typically putting the Swedish sub only against our surface and air ASW assets.

In your opinion, how effective would a Virginia SSN, assigned to a Carrier Battle Group, be in detecting, tracking and targeting the Swede? Seems to me, our SSN’s would be our best defense.

The BUSY II system is good. The Swedish sub is extremely quiet. The variables are the local of where is the sea you are looking for a sub. The Swedish sub has the advantage. Other factors are intell before the search from other sources from since the Swedish sub left port. It also depends on the quality of the Captains of the submarines and the sonar teams.
