Yes, the diesel blue water combo sucks. But in the near future AIP's will rule this out. Then this will be a whole different ball game. |
Well Iran doesn’t have any AIP subs so that’s beyond the scope of this discussion.

Think about it your operating in deep water where there are CZs
|
Don't snurkel in CZ's!

It may come down to snorkeling or dieing a dark cold death from CO2 poisoning.

and your signal goes much farther since there is no nice seafloor 200 feet down.

Try to snurkel in bad acoustical conditions like bad weather conditions if possible...

You would not say that if you ever snorkeled in bad weather.
the COB maybe God but he dosn't control the weather.

...or close to a loud ship for example. Don't snurkel with diesels running full speed. Let the diesels also run at different rpm's to avoid resonances.

Good Points.

Imagine if a P-3 or P-8 got wind of your operating area from Ocean Floor Sensors and started putting buoys every 15 miles, each one of those has about a 50% chance of detecting you and if you move on your diesels the odds of detection go up from there.
|
Buoys require calm seas. 3 meters high waves cause a transmission loss of 75% and 4,6 meters high waves cause a total transmission loss.
So if possible don't snurkel in calm seas in the enemies backyard. SOSUS is of course not your friend but eddies 
AFAIK it's hopeless to track subs in eddies.
