The Swedish Submarine that Sank a US Aircraft Carrier

Brand-new, nuclear powered, capable of carrying twice as many aircraft as most competing foreign carriers, and protected by an entire task force... the $6.2 billion USS Ronald Reagan seemed invincible leading up to an international war game exercise in 2005. It was a stunning blow then, and a complete shock, when - against all odds - a super stealth submarine from Sweden snuck past the USS Ronald Regan’s defenses and scored enough mock torpedo hits to sink it during multiple attack runs. The Americans never saw it coming… and never saw it leave…

    Not really. It's worth noting that In real life Carrier can evade Torpedo's or the escorting vessels can and will most likely Launch decoy's and use their CIWS to Destroy the incoming torpedo. Because this was a wargame exercise, The Swedish submarine only had to take photo's While In real life Torpedo's can be very Easily detected on sonar or Spotted by a crew. in real life, The Gotland wouldn't have been able to do multiple Runs on the Carrier, As Once a carrier spots a torpedo then the presence of a submarine would be very clear. Also, The wargame exercise took place on a patch of the sea, In rea life The ocean is much Larger and a real war means The Gotland will have 10 times lesser chance at finding a carrier. So wargames aren't completely Accurate, Which is why Some things might happen in wargames but not in Real war. A lot of people don't understand this and they often make jokes about this without analyzing it them selves.

    It is, but let's not get carried away. The facts here are that the Gotland Class submarine uses an ultra silent propulsion method to avoid cavitation in comparison to other diesel submarines. It's a fun story to think about how a smaller nation like Sweden could sink the mighty nuclear carriers of the United States. But that's all it is. The war game that's talked about was when a Swedish carrier was put in the perfect situation to attack the Reagan: - It had predetermined knowledge of where the carrier would be operating - It was able to attack a ship that was not traveling at its top speed, and therefore was able to keep pace - War games do not take into account countermeasures or weapon system failures The entire point of this story is to foolishly undermine the US Navy. In reality, the Swedish submarine would have no idea where the Reagan is. It doesn't have fuel to be wandering around the oceans for weeks hunting for it. And United States Carriers rarely travel at speeds with which the Gotland can match speed without cavitation occurring. None of these factors mean anything anyways because Sweden is an ally to the United States, no other country has such capable submarines besides the United States and their Seawolf class submarines. Let me ask you something: If it were as easy to sink American Carriers by just making stealthy submarines, why hasn't China kicked the United States out of the Pacific by now? Why does Russia refuse to challenge the United States for the seas? It's because it's not that simple. United States nuclear carriers are the most powerful and well protected weapons of war in the world, and every single Admiral, General and defense member would not argue that. It's an interesting story though, nonetheless. I've just seen it dozens of times now because it's easy to get views with making videos on this topic.

    I remember that we were told one thing while I was in the Navy, "It doesn't matter how many defenses you have, if the enemy launches enough missiles or torpedoes, a few are bound to go through". That's not what happened here of course, this was a precision attack, but it's just a saying to show us that nothing is invincible and that assumptions and cockiness cost lives and ships.

In addition, these subs are 16+ years old and don’t have the technology modern subs have. Although they have noise suppression that was good by 2004 standards, they are no longer as quiet as US vessels.

    The Swedish sub as most likely a diesel electric submarine that can indeed be very stealthy. I was stationed aboard the USS HADDO SSN604 and the only time we were ever detected when stalking a CVN was when we were spotted by a helicopter due to the extremely clear water in the Caribbean. Exercises such as the one high lighted in this video are extremely valuable in the development of both technology and ASW tactics. One possible correction to the video is that surface craft use ACTIVE sonar, that is the rely on the sonar “returns” or pings to echo locate an intruding submarine. The efficiency of active sonar is somewhat mitigated by “Own Ship’s Noise” which is proportional to the speed of that ship. However, my information is somewhat dated and I suspect that sonar technology has changed in the intervening years.

There's limits and factors that cannot be accounted for by any test that doesn't follow through on the actual attack. You can of course, try computer simulations, but that presents a different variation of the same problem - the simulation is only as accurate as the data it's based on, and almost never perfectly reflects reality...

    People often dismiss diesel-electric subs as some WW2 relic. That couldn't be farther from the truth. The reason nuclear subs are generally 'better' is mostly due to the fact that they tend to have newer components. A well designed diesel-electric sub with the newest technology is just as good as a nuclear-powered one. In fact, since a nuclear reactor cannot be easily shut down, modern diesel-electrics are actually significantly quieter than nuclear subs. So if you only want to use your subs defensively, diesel-electric is very much the better choice. Add in the fact that a nuclear sub still has to replenish supplies for the crew on a regular basis, which significantly negates its main strength of infinite range, it's very reasonable that everyone is investing in diesel-electrics again.

    For a blue water centered navy (USN) nuclear is the way to go. Supplies can be replenished at sea, in a small port overseas or large port at home. The gotland excels at defending its nations home watets, what it was designed for. Nuclear subs are for long extended duration missions. They'll stay under the waves longer than a diesel can for air before needing supplies only. 111 days is a long time without needing to surface. Nuclear reactors dont need to be shut down for very quiet running... They shut down cooling pumps under no speed or very slow speed and let natural convection current of water cool the reactor. Thus allowing them to disappear into the noise of the ocean.

So, no pumps or gearboxes at all. The easiest way to find those subs might be to look for the "black hole" in the sea where absolutely no noise is coming from...

    Some other folks have commented on wargames vs real life, so that's a dead horse. But here's another: The white "low-side" AAR will reflect what the US Navy wants to release. In this case, a sub penetrated our picket and sank our carrier. This can be done as impetus to tighten up SOPs TTPs etc. Or nefariously, try and convince Congress that more money is needed to secure the fleet. The black "high-side" AAR reflects a total different result and data set. You (KZreadrs and this Channel) will never know if the task force spotted it or not. The absolute margins of capabilities are closely held state secrets. Similar to the actual top speed of the SR-71 which is still classified decades after its decommissioning. So take whatever you read about these claims with a grain of salt. It is in no one's best interest, if they work for the US Navy, DOD, or US R&D to EVER tell you what they can and can't detect, and what they can and can't do.

However in the coastal areas for which they were meant, diesel electrics pretty much rule supreme, and especially those build by Japan, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany. At least half a dozen navies have scored hits during wargames against the US navy, including their carriers, that's nothing new. What a lot of people seem to forget is that it isn't just the qualities of the subs which make them so stealthy and efficient, but that the superior tactics used by their captains is what really turns them into such incredibly powerfull naval weapons.

    Surprising?No! During war games an Australian Oberon class sub penetrated a carrier battle group,(simulated) sunk the Carrier,resupply ship, 3 destroyers. The only reason that the US Navy knew that losses had been taken was that after every shot a flare had to be launched by the sub. This was back in the early 90s.
