The diesel boats the Iranians have can stay under for a pretty good amount of time, and if they are'nt moving, it would prove very hard to find them without going active.

Not really - diesel boats create magnetic anomalies which can be detected. Minesweepers and various towed arrays can do the trick.

The way you find a "super silent sub" is to look where the noise isn't......it will actually leave a sound "shadow".
We have been working on this for years and have just completed some VERY successful maneuvers with a Swedish sub off San Diego.
Don't sell the Silent Service short... they a cold killers, and have been practicing it for a lot longer time that the IRN and are a helluva lot more professional....
I'd put their best diesel up a against a Los Angles class boat with the crew singing "Anchors Aweigh" and stompin thier feet any time

I am sure that this has not gotten lost ( or gone unaware ) with the US Navy.
I am sure they have tactics and plans for this such a thing, I am not worried.
