static subs still emits noise?

from what I understand, nuke subs DO have batteries. (mostly for backup/emergency power) but its the pumps that make noise, not the reactor. If you shut off the pumps, you get a meltdown (because you're not cooling the reactor) or possibly an explosion. Shutting down the reactor entirely (and starting it again) is a difficult process and takes time to do properly. its really not worth the trade off in being that silent. Just ADCAP the f**ker from long range before he ever hears you...haha. You get my meaning.
