Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

From your article:
So you agree that diesel submarines can be quieter than nuclear subs when operating in electric mode, although their range is limited.
That’s good.
I thought this was turning into one of those reddit level discussions, where people refuse to accept they were wrong, because they’d rather ‘win’ an argument by misrepresenting what the person they’re debating actually said, than have a nuanced discussion
Bro I just copied and pasted a literal quote from your own article saying otherwise, you are your own Reddit moment rn.
This is one of the things you quoted:
Also in the article:
Ie. a diesel sub is quiet in electric mode, potentially quieter than nuclear subs because in battery mode there aren’t turbines or pumps whining away, even though that is for a limited time.
Another example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotland-class_submarine
The article goes on to say:
TLDR: an advanced/modern diesel submarine is louder than a nuclear submarine in normal operation. Chugachugachugachuga. Then it goes into battery mode. It goes near silent, quieter than many nuclear submarines which still have turbines, pumps, etc. The diesel sub dissapears like a ghost. Torpedo away, too late.
And that’s a relatively old sub. The French sub I mentioned is something like a decade newer, with newer and better batteries.
