Our cuts in funding of submarine research and development have severely crippled us in the next gen. sub warfare. As you can see here:

Sweden’s AIP sub Gotland has humiliated our best, although I'm not sure if it has faced Seawolf or Virginia class subs yet. But in theory it doesn't matter because we don't even have more than a few of these and once they become more standard in our navy the next gen of AIP boats (which are already underdevelopment) will be out
