You have to ask yourself: Do I want to be in s sub run by a bunch of crazy muzzie camel jocks?

Given the choice between that and strapping on a vest made of explosives . . . maybe the single digit survival rate is attractive.

Might not be much difference. Lay doggo on the bottom in the intended path of a carrier group, surface under the carrier and detonate nuke. 72 virgins for all.

DE boats can be quieter than nuke boats because there are no reactor cooling pumps. only air circulating fans and crew noises. (of course, that'd mean they could be picked up on passive sonar five times a day...)
