I was the sonar officer on a Frigate and did cross training on SSN’s

Then you should be aware of how 'noisy' a carrier group is and how a sonar officer on a Frigate is practically blind when it comes to detecting an electric submarine. We used to play inside carrier groups and laugh at the heliocopters darting back and force each time they thought they had found us.

How do you know you weren't being tracked by "other" means? I cannot discuss this on a public forum.

Maybe you're right, we should just scuttle our whole surface fleet and leave it up to the bubble heads you guys can do it all.
