Decibel levels
I was never a submariner. Only digitally since playing Seawolf SSN-21 in the 90s. I do know that submarines are always striving to be quiet. So, perusing the unit reference in Cold Waters, I see a Flight 1 LA Class is 115 decibels (if I recall correctly, I am at work and not playing). That is as loud as a rock concert or night club! These subs can't be that loud, can they? I get pumps are running and machinery is making noise, but damn, that seems really high. I was on an aircraft carrier and a destroyer and they weren't that loud, except during flight ops, not pier side though. Am I missing something?
