Australian sub operating against US surface forces. You really need to watch all the way to the end :

This scenario is probably typical of any military establishment that gets a shock when they find themselves suddenly out of practice, when dueling on an equal footing.

Seems to happen a lot... but at least the US has taken action, where most high commands are too stupid/blind to see the facts.

That a decent contemporary sub keeps the upper hand over surface forces, probably is not really a surprise. That the Swedes also defeated modern US submarines - that was the shocking news.
