The main purpose of the US Submarine fleet is to support Fleet operations. A DBF can not keep up with a strike group carrier force. The SSNs run "scout" for these strike groups. That and long range spook missions which only a Nuke can perform..Under ice ops and on and on... The Virginias are among the quietest boats made. This would not happen to a Virginia boat. Or a Seawolf for damn sure.
