you may find that the most-advanced nuke plants on the newest boats don't even have to run the reactor pumps (when they want to be silent). Clever convection circulation plumbing. Informed sources point to 'zero' reactor noises.
Any boat underway, however, is now detectable for the right nations.

Change of subject: Didn't I read a while back that stealth technology for aircraft could be defeated by monitoring the micro changes in air pressure that were detectable as the aircraft moved through the air?
That is, the detection was not dependent on radar.
