Yes. But you will need a replikator for torps, harpoons and so on, too. And donŽt forget about the crew. YouŽll need some woman to replikate the crew

And all those engines and systems are the reason why a LosAngelos sub fresh out the shipyard (refreshment) had no chance against a 30 year old 206a in med sea 2002. We won 20 to 1. The one time they found us, we started to snorkel while the batteries were fully charged. We were able to detect the noise from reactor from greater distances as the LA could detect us - even when both subs cruised with speeds below 10kn.
