It was my understanding, from my experience in the 50s, that a submarine could approach a large ship without detection if it stayed in the ships wake. Apparently the ChiComs figured this tactic out.
More aggressive ASW work is required by the screening vessels and perhaps the carrier itself.

towed-array sonar really limits this toay. SOSUS needs to be reviewed, SAW ops and the Hakws tag along boat needs to figure out what happened.
