That's nice. Just how many sailors either from the USN or on board the Swedish sub do you know?...

I know one. My son. He's a sonar tech. He is an instructor of advanced sonar technology at the USN ASW school in San Diego. He recieves classified data from this project. He cannot discuss the project at all. So what really is going on is truely unknown.

He has stated several times to me that it is indeed difficult almost impossible to find a desiel boat. But the USN will have one year to discover ways to find and kill desiel subs. I as a 20 year USN veteran have confidence the uSN will find some method to find the deisel boats or countering them in some manner.

Did you know that the Gotland participated in the Parade of ships during fleet week in San Diego? Check out the pics!

As the Swedish military is not as secretive as the US military there has been official statements given by officers within the Swedish navy relating to the performance of the Gotland Class in USA.

What i was trying to comment is of course that finding a diesel-sub is hard even when you know that it is there. And when you dont know its there its a nightmare. The Swedish navy has good experience with littorial subhunting due to the incidence when the Soviet sub U-137 parked himself 1 nautical mile from the Karlskrona naval base 1981. After that we hunted sounds of submarines for 10 long years.....
