For instance, I doubt that the Chinese sub surfaced on accident, or of its own idea. The surface navy may not of known about that sub but you can bet your a$$ that the US Navy’s submarines knew it was there, and it surfaced because a Virginia-class sub pulled up behind it, opened her torpedo bay doors and actively pinged the Chinese sub. Virginia-class fast attack subs were designed for stuff like this. They are very very good at detecting even the quietest of subs. If they can detect the newest German Dolphin class they can easily detect the Chinese subs.
