Conventional or AIP submarines have the edge when it comes to quietness (no noisey water pumps for reactors).

the type 212 and 214 were said to be the quietest submarines in the world.

But it doesnt have the advantage of great speed diving deapth or lots and lots of wapons so it is at a disadvantage there.

But id like to sail in one if i had to come up against say the SSN21
