"Some" recent innovations? As in several besides IEP? Which ones? BTW, it's not like IEP is on every new ship class that comes out around the world; in fact I can count in one hand the number of newer warship classes that actually have it. The upcoming Ford carrier and JMSDF 27DDG won't have it and they're the newest warships on the block. As for the Seawolf, though 20+ years old it's probably quieter than any other sub except for the Virginia class, and as far as I know they actually tie in acoustics, so saying the Seawolf is 20+ years old is misleading since it happens to be as ultra-modern as it gets. Same thing with the F-22. Which other fighter can beat it in air-to-air combat on a statistical level? And yet it debuted in 2005. The US has been so far ahead in some areas that citing the age of a given platform is not going to get you anywhere.

Yes the Virginia is also quiet than the Seawolf maybe the Seawolf is a little more silencious details... to high speed but a thing is certain the Seawolf at greater depth* max 600 m vs 500+ and there the noise is more diffuse it is an advantage.
*Same for nuclear Russians but they are less silencious.
