The thing about a UUV is that if you don't employ it correctly, it will be the death of you. So, it could be your best friend or your worse enemy. As Fish has stated in another topic, keep mind of the SSP when launching your UUV. The deeper you are, the best chance you have to avoid the TIW warning that tells everyone your bearing.

EDIT:

No one can argue against the fact that a UUV, when employed correctly, will give the sub driver the advantage against the OPFOR. For instance, as soon as the contacts populate my nav screen with bearings, I scan my sonar screen on those bearings to determine the threat level of the contact. The tubes are already flooded and ready to go when I complete this and..."Say hello to my little friend!"
