The old diesel subs in WWII were silent, too, but they had to be in position and hope the enemy crossed their path.

Try looking around for an paper by Roger Thompson called "Is the US Navy overrated?" I won't say it is a very good paper, really, there are enough flaws even for a relative layman like me, but it does have examples where this happened. It may still be somewhere on the net and I can fork over a copy if you can't find it.
