Not so long ago I read it in the news about a joint naval drill in the Mediterranean sea where a French nuclear attack submarine was put against an entire American carrier group. The result? The carrier along with most of its escorts were sunk by the French submarine (not physically of course).
It was said that the result was posted on the French military's web site (if I remember correctly), but it was removed shortly after. I guess it was for "saving face"?
The conclusion for this drill is, a single attack submarine poses great threat to even an entire fleet. It was also said that the French submarine was one of the smaller nuclear submarines which made it harder to detect.
Have you guys heard of this story?
So what do you guys think?
