Submarines are hard to find? When did this happen?

"Bout the time my skipper, on the periscope looking at the USS America during an exercise, only got detected when he "talked" the S-3's from catapult to launch to right overhead..... giving hem steering corrections as they flew overhead.
And we were only 5,000 yds off her bow at the time.
963 class was pretty silent though: but they didn't get us.

It's a myth. Submarines are as easy to find as any other ship.
Well, OK, until they go underwater. There is that...
The new diesels are scary-quiet. They don't have the legs of the nukes but they don't need them. On the surface or snorkeling they put out a hellacious racket but on battery you might just as well forget it.
