I thought the new attack subs would have a *much* faster hull speed for
quiet running (laminar flow?). All fast current subs make a lot of noise
when running near max speed and can only achieve ~6 knots or so quiet. New
tricks and coatings allow the new subs to go *fast* and *quiet* at the
same time. A big improvement.
