This will be like the redneck who insists on smoking while hunting, after spending the past three weeks de-scenting himself.

Can you hear them singing?Day O = The Banana Boat Song, Harry Belafonte
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Stack banana 'til de mornin' come
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home…
Do Russians like bananas?
Either THAT song or the VOLGA BOATMAN.

Good chance there is a Virgina class or a Sea Wolf sub on location listening to the sea trials.

Perhaps they’ll be a little more careful with the torpedoes this time.

So their new piece of hardware is late and over budget? Are you sure these guys are our enemies? Sounds like we have a lot in common. :-/
JK of course. I wonder how quiet it really is, and just how capable our modern SSNs sonar really is. I got a glimpse into that world back in 1993 or so and it was frightening how capable they were. With nearly 30 years to develop computer hardware and signal processing algorithms... I'm not sure you can be quiet enough...

Dunno, I have been out of it for a long time but worked on SW

Their last step is to assemble a crew of people willing to die a radioactive smoking suffocating death.
