That notwithstanding, given the Iranian technical prowess, i.e., sonar of all things, OMG, jeepers creepers,  we're all pretty much screwed now, eh?

I remember hearing about that years ago. I can only imagine Red Fleet's response when they put all the reports together.
In a lighter comical sense, I can see a corny message like this for the individual boats from the US:
*PING*
"Glorious Salutations, Comrade!
We were concerned about you and the safety of your crew and had to ping you to make sure everything was OK.
Have a great day!
Signed, The Crazy American Sub in your Baffles."
