A few things, Kapitan:

1. The submerged displacement of an Oscar II is 18,300, not 24,000. That is less than a single Ohio at 18,750, submerged.

2. If detected, the American submarine would just sprint away. The Russians would not fire in persuit, turning an uncomfortable situation into an outright shooting war.

3. Officers are not non-coms, and regardless of what your friends have told you, most naval analysts have confirmed that Russian non-com training still lags far behind the western equivalent nations.

Carry on.
