Ships and boats with nuclear drives can outrun them, however. Regarding destroying military naval targets, SSNs are more lurkers, not stalkers, and certainly no sprinters. They either need good intel and planning ahead so to have the time needed to get into the right place where to sit and wait, or simply good luck. At what speeds is a carrier group moving usually? 25 knots? Only to force enemy submarines making more noise, or break contact, being left behind
