No. The stealthiest sub in the USN is the Seawolf class USS Jimmy Carter. At. 100 feet longer then the other two Seawolves, it boasts a midsection that can deploy divers, diving and rescue submersibles. It likely has a propulsion system similar to the Ohio class and is modified to be able remain stationary for extended lengths of time (like over a pipeline). Loves steaming into it’s home port with a jolly roger flying. Apparently that indicates a successful mission. I wonder where they’ve been recently

The Seawolf class is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines.
My guess is that flying the jolly roger would indicate that they intercepted and trailed an enemy sub without being detected.
Sort of like painting red stars on Fighters that shoot down enemy aircraft.
They paid a visit to the pipeline.
The folks in Groton do a fine job.
