Diesel electric subs are quieter then our nuclear subs. We even rented one from, I believe Sweden, to test it out. It got a "Kill" on our Carrier in a exercise.
Because when they run silent is just on electricity and the subs are much smaller. They do not have the range of U.S. Subs. They are mostly guarding a tiny region. U.S. Subs have to go all over the world and have to be under water for a long time. Diesel Electric cannot do that. What they sacrifice in range, power, and longevity that make up for in silence. U.S. is not worried about guarding waters of the coast of California. We do not need Diesel electric. But for US to go around the world we need Nuclear Reactors which make slightly more noise then Diesel electric. These are not WW2 diesel engines. They only run when the subs needs to recharge its batteries, but are still very silent. Also the power they need to power there much smaller sub is tiny in comparison.
One of the big differences is that diesel subs use electric motors, versus the steam generated by nuclear engines. They do not have the long term stealth capability of a nuclear sub, but when operating, they are indeed more quiet than publicly known nuclear subs.
As to the exercise where we "lost a carrier" to the Swedish navy, here's some info on that.
Very nice!
There are thousands of regular earthquakes all over the world every day though just to be clear
Daughter just had one last week in Okinawa. 6. something.
Here's a supposed video of the incident

That does not look like an ordinance explosion, but a rocket fuel explosion it could be...
No "i" in ordnance if you are referring to weaponry. OrdInance is a degree or a law.
Thank you. Not the first time for this.
You're welcome. I do it sometimes too.
Using uranium that Russia received from the USA via Uranium One.
Fully traceable to its source, find out it's from USA, naturally blame Trump via Alinsky Tactics.

When on batteries.
