No, talking about Mark 16. Mark 14 was powered by a wet heater steam turbine, left a visible bubble wake. Mark 16, while a remake in many ways of the Mark 14 was powered by hydrogen peroxide, which have read in the past left little to no visible wake. In the game it has the same wake as Mark 14 and 23, making it really not worth the cost once available. Since in the sim there is no gray area, they see the wake or do not, would rather it not have one. Issue is when fixed it long ago, enemy ships still spotted the Mark 16 without a visible wake, but they still saw it. So tried some fixes, clones but did not work.
