The USN ASW has been penetrated at will for decades. Seems there are no improvements. Then again, keeping up with submarine tech and ways to combat it may not be completely possible.

Details from Captain Edwards:
"The pictures were taken during a Med deployment in the Fall of '63 or Spring of '64.
Torsk was opposing a transit of a large task force. The carrier CO and the Screen
Commander insisted no green flares (simulated torpedo firing) were sighted and no screen
penetration had taken place. When I produced the photos, both just about wet their pants.
Fred."
