Not being a Navy guy, I dont know sea tactics. It seems like a diesel submarine must make some noise that can be detected. Let’s hope in the lessons learned from this, we actually learn a lesson.

A submerged diesel/electric boat runs 100% on batteries, and there is nothing quieter. The diesels are only used to charge batteries, while at snorkel depth, once every day or two depending on the sub model, battery output etc.
