This is going to be a stupid question, and I am going to already guess an answer but I have to ask.
Given that there is a collision about to happen, isn't there a sensor that would give some type of warning? And I'm guessing that the answer to my stupid question is that a sensor would give away the position of the submarine because anything emitting a signal would defeat the point of the sub?
- captainoats 5y agoYa, not a dumb question, and you are correct. Submarines can’t use active navigational systems (anything that emits energy) like radar because it would defeat its own core mission of being a stealth weapons platform. They do use passive sensors to detect the environment around the ship and probably some other spooky secret stuff that I don’t know about.

- pyinstallwoes 5y agoPerhaps vision based and ML prediction or whatever would be considered passive in the sense that is doesn't pin an energy signature. Got it, thanks!
