I dont know, supercavitation technology has been around for a long long time and the west is just now realizing we should have one? The idea might be a part of research but I just dont see where its so good that it's ready replace or even complement our current arsenal.
Also, autonomous robotics are the wave of the future to counter the diesel threat in littoral waters. We're already developing cheaper countermeasures, things like the Ghost Ship. Sure the diesel sub might escape to deeper waters but then it enters Big Bad Wolf's playground. Kinda like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Not to mention TRAPS, SHARK, and ISIS lurking in the shadows.
