The title is incorrect.
“Tomorrows Stealthy Subs Could Sink Americas Navy”
It must read:
“Yesterdays Subs Could Sink Americas Navy”
During war games Type 206/209 submarines killed many times US carriers and destroyers.
E.g. search for RIMPAC and “Chang Bogo” or U24 and Enterprise.
I will never forget the war games where the Chinese diesel sub popped up inside the outer protection ring. One carrier could have gone down before we could have responded in the faintest way.
