That's not in doubt here.

2019-10-12 16:18:24 UTC  

Thanks

2019-10-12 16:18:32 UTC  

So yeah

2019-10-12 16:18:52 UTC  

A surface ship is only detecting a sub first in a very limited number of circumstances

2019-10-12 16:19:09 UTC  

And they all require the sub to either be old as shit or incompetent as fuck

2019-10-12 16:19:17 UTC  

Or any combination thereof

2019-10-12 16:19:21 UTC  

As most subs are

2019-10-12 16:19:22 UTC  

*old*

2019-10-12 16:19:54 UTC  

There you have to remember that most surface passive sonar systems are less effective then their sub surface counterparts

2019-10-12 16:19:58 UTC  

Mainly due to self noise

2019-10-12 16:20:38 UTC  

And other requirements, true

2019-10-12 16:21:16 UTC  

They can't see behind them unless they have a towed array

2019-10-12 16:21:19 UTC  

Which most dont

2019-10-12 16:21:22 UTC  

Most subs do

2019-10-12 16:21:33 UTC  

They cant see behind them because of their own prop noise

2019-10-12 16:22:50 UTC  

Well, most modern ships have helicopters

2019-10-12 16:22:52 UTC  

With dipping sonar

2019-10-12 16:23:01 UTC  

Which are the scariest thing about them

2019-10-12 16:23:02 UTC  

To extend the detection range and to cover that issue right there

2019-10-12 16:23:11 UTC  

However they arnt deployed unless they hear the sub

2019-10-12 16:23:26 UTC  

and the sub can hear them

2019-10-12 16:23:34 UTC  

because big fucking slashing noise on water

2019-10-12 16:23:47 UTC  

Depends at what layer the submarine is at

2019-10-12 16:23:53 UTC  

If it's below the thermal layer or not

2019-10-12 16:23:55 UTC  

However aircraft are the scariest things to subs

2019-10-12 16:24:07 UTC  

Other subs are probably the most scariest thing

2019-10-12 16:24:13 UTC  

Nope

2019-10-12 16:24:16 UTC  

Aircraft

2019-10-12 16:24:22 UTC  

Thats what I have been talk to a sonarman

2019-10-12 16:24:26 UTC  

They can pop up anywhere

2019-10-12 16:24:40 UTC  

subs at least travel slow

2019-10-12 16:24:46 UTC  

Most Soviet submarines were being followed by NATO subs during the cold war.

2019-10-12 16:26:43 UTC  

Tracked em right out of their ports

2019-10-12 16:27:03 UTC  

Which goes back to what I said about russia and poor maintenance

2019-10-12 16:27:06 UTC  

they started quiet got loud

2019-10-12 20:57:00 UTC  

I'm actually pleased to hear this

2019-10-12 21:00:28 UTC  

what about people without a driving license or passport?

2019-10-12 21:02:05 UTC  

Scrounge up 34 quid and get a provisional license...
