Carriers can't be sunk by diesel subs if they're far enough away from the sub's homeport. Diesel subs have terrible range if they're running quiet. But honestly our submarine force is more than enough to handle virtually any European navy.

If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

1. The LCS is a horrible turd.
2. A carrier's main defense against subs lies in the fact that it's really ****ing fast, so subs have to move fast and make a lot of noise to catch up with it.Comment

Yeah, I think a lot of people have the false impression that carriers are big fat and slow, but they're actually just big and fat. They're powered by nuclear reactors, they can go faster than any other surface vessel we have for longer periods of time.Originally posted by regexcellent View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

The nuclear reactors aren't the reason they go fast...although it does help them maintain that speed. A hull's maximum speed in the water is proportional to the square root of its length. Carriers are big. Big ships go faster than small ships except for the ones that can get up on a plane.Comment

You must admit that it's kind of cute that our local expert in submarine tactics think that they tries to catch their intended victims

I know that there are a number of navy sailors here so may I suggest that you google "absalon pirate" ? A local tv station (TV3) followed the ship absalon for a period hunting pirates.
I know that it's mostly in danish, but you may find it interesting to see how another countrys navy operates.

That boat was filled with hostages, so no free shooting
Though, they finally surrendered and the hostages was freed

One of the links at the end is called NATO Chronicles.
