Okay, to reply to the people asking about "No know how". Yes, the US still have a very capable Submarine-fleet, but those Units are from the 1980s. Look at modern diesel-electric Subs, like mainly the german 212A class. Basically a black hole in the water, capable of staying submerged without any noise at all for a month on its fuel-cells, launching a drone submerged or Shooting down ASW-Helicopters, making US-ASW tactics basically obsolete.The now 30 year old precursor of the 212As, the 209, managed to "sink" a Nimitz class carrier in a NATO-Exercise undetected. You are not going to build a ship that is capable of taking on a 212A without any institutonal and tactical knowledge newer than the 50.
