Park it on the bottom, wait for a tanker. Kaboom. Cars make noisy suicide bombers. Why not noisy subs?

I'd be placing sonar arrays (if they aren't already)all over the Gulf.

As a former ASW guy I can assure you that we will be able to detect and destroy these boats if it becomes necessary.

We have technology available for dealing with exactly this type of threat.

D/E boats do have a low amplitude signature because they do not have to continually run reactor coolant pumps, but they are NOT undetectable.
