Well, ultimate shallow water sub. Very smal, very capable, very quiet, very hard to detect on active sonar, no MAD signature (or minimal), good weapons (and with Black Shark torpedo even better). And what is most impressive, it's AIP propulsion with hydrogen fuel cells and revolutional way of storing the hydrogen. No need to snorkel for weeks, so even harder to detect it...

When given no MAD signature and very small active sonar tgt, would be ultimate enemy to hunt for both AIR platforms :-) And could kill a Seawolf in shallow water probably, det ranges could be around 1000yds or less for both (IRL) so who fires first wins.
