Why don't the state of the art diesel electric subs like the Collins or the Type 212 use pumpjet propulsors like the Astute, Trafalgar, or VA?....:hmm: Supposedly pumpjets are more efficient so the subs would gain longer ranges with more fuel effeciency hypothetically. What's keeping them from equipping them?

Ideas?
