I know that a nuclear powered submarine is alot more silence than a old diesel powered submarine. I don't think they would be interesseret in an attempt to increase their patrol area. I think they will stay in or just outside hormuz.
I even believe that such a submarine will be a larger challenge to the americans ASW.
We laugh at it, but I'm 110 % sure that the US government and it's military don't. They take this information seriously.

In noise I think it depends. When diesel boat has to recharge its batteries then yes I agree. Not sure if there is any advantage to either one (in silence) in other situations. Some say diesel boat is more silent (coolant pumps in nuke reactor if non-naturally circulating) and others disagree.
