I still think it was quite impressive performance, given the great technological advance in detection technology since WW2, they still do better than one would expect.

And I missed the chance to visit a Gotland-class sub by one day...

It's all part of the secret plan to take Åland back...

Is there really such a big difference in the aspect of noise ?
All I know is how they try to minimize sounds on the 212-class, and they do a pretty good job IMO, but I have no comparision to a nuc sub.
