I was rereading Tom Clancy's SSN the other day when a thought occurred to me. During the entire time the sub was at sea it raised it's periscope very few times an not once was it to attack and enemy vessel.(Not even during the convoy attack.) What I need to know is if modern subs can really attack that efficiently without seeing the target at all?
