I saw a special on the U-212 a german diesel super quiet for use in litoral waters. We need more boats like these, but the common sense has disappeared at the top of the Chain. The Israeli's have 3 I believe, but we should have 20 for a similar role.

"...we should have 20 for a similar role." Aaahhh, but that would be too much like preparing to fight the next war. Besides, what kind of position could the brass expect to get onm retirement if they only let out contracts for the lower $$$ weapons?
