相对于核潜艇，我们的柴电潜艇在近海还是有巨大优势的。

The U.S. Navy continues to debate the issue of just how effective non-nuclear submarines would be in wartime and whether the U.S. should buy some of these non-nuclear boats itself. This radical proposal is based on two compelling factors. First, the U.S. Navy may not get enough money to maintain a force of 40-50 SSNs (attack subs). Second, the quietness of modern diesel-electric boats puts nuclear subs at a serious disadvantage, especially in coastal waters. With modern passive sensors, a submerged diesel-electric sub is often the best weapon for finding and destroying other diesel-electric boats.  While the nuclear sub is the most effective high seas vessel, especially if you have worldwide responsibilities and these nukes would have to quickly move long distances to get to the troubled waters, the diesel electric boat, operating on batteries in coastal waters, is quieter and harder to find.
鹰酱继续争论非核潜艇的效果，以及是否用剩余不多的小钱钱去淘一些。因为么，供养40-50艘攻击核潜艇实在是太贵了。而且，新型柴电潜艇实在是太安静了，这让核潜艇情何以堪，尤其是在浅海。使用现代被动声纳，柴电潜艇是对付柴电潜艇的最好选择（没说核潜艇可以通吃柴电潜艇）。威武的核潜艇么，深海的猎手，尤其是对于民主的、正义的、大能的鹰酱。但是但是可但是，柴电潜艇太安静了……
There are 39 nations operating a total of 400 diesel electric subs. Only three of these nations (China, Iran, North Korea) are likely to use their subs against the U.S. or its allies. China has fifty of these boats, Iran has three (plus 25 much smaller mini-subs) and North Korea has 20 (plus 50 much smaller mini-subs). So the U.S. has to worry about 73 diesel electric subs and 75 mini-subs. But about half the full size subs are elderly, obsolete, and noisy. The same can be said for at least half the mini-subs. That leaves about 36 full size subs and 40 mini-subs that are a clear threat (though the older stuff can be a threat if you get sloppy). That’s a lot of subs, and they make the East Asian coast and the Persian Gulf dangerous places for American warships.
世界上很多国家有柴电潜艇。只有兔子、波斯和北棒看着不顺眼。兔子有大概50个，很多都是又老又旧又没品位的。但是但是可但是，兔子窝旁边还是挺危险的。
For much of the past decade the U.S. Navy has been trying to get an idea of just how bad the threat is. Thus from 2005 to 2007 the United States leased a Swedish sub (Sweden only has five subs in service) and its crew, to help American anti-submarine forces get a better idea of what they were up against. This Swedish boat was a "worst case" scenario, an approach that is preferred for training. The Gotland class Swedish subs involved are small (1,500 tons, 64.5 meters/200 feet long) and have a crew of only 25. The Gotland was based in San Diego, along with three dozen civilian technicians to help with maintenance.
很多年前，鹰酱就想试试这个新玩具，多亏了北欧家居国，不仅出了这个玩具来给鹰酱训练，还出了人。这种玩具简直太“坏”了。
For many years before the Gotland arrived, the U.S. Navy had trained against Australian diesel-electric subs and often came out second. The Gotland has one advantage over the Australian boats because of its AIP system (which allows it to stay under water, silently, for several weeks at a time). Thus the Gotland is something of a worst case in terms of what American surface ships and submarines might have to face in a future naval war. None of America's most likely naval opponents (China, North Korea, or Iran) have AIP boats yet, but they do have plenty of diesel-electric subs which, in the hands of skilled crews, can be pretty deadly.
家居国之前，袋鼠国曾经拿来一些玩。家居国的AIP潜艇更新一些，也更坏。让鹰酱感到放心的是，白兔还没有这个AIP玩具（坏白兔似乎有这个坏玩具）。
Based on the experience with Australian and Swedish subs, the U.S. Navy has been developing new anti-submarine tactics and equipment. All this is done in secret, obviously. But apparently the modern, quiet diesel electric boats continue to be a major threat to U.S. surface warships and subs. Meanwhile, potential enemies build more of their cheaper and higher quality diesel-electric boats and train their crews by having them stalk actual warships (including U.S. ones). The subs are getting more numerous, while U.S. defenses are limping along because of the sheer technical problems of finding quiet diesel-electric boats in coastal waters.
根据这些玩具，鹰酱已经秘密的研究出来对付的法子了，当然不能让你知道了。但是但是可但是，这种玩具还是挺危险的。更糟糕的是，这种坏玩具便宜，兔子正在大量的生产。
One reason China wants to keep American naval forces out of their economic zone (which does not bar foreign warships) is so that Chinese diesel electric subs can train without being stalked by American subs, surface ships, and aircraft looking for realistic practice tracking Chinese boats. At the same time the U.S. Navy has lost the full use of its most effective underwater anti-submarine training area (a well mapped and instrumented area off southern California) because environmentalist activists have convinced judges that the use of active sonar in this training area is harmful to some species of aquatic animals.
一个兔子要把鹰酱赶出自己专属经济区的原因是，兔子可以在自己的沿海随便玩。鹰酱的动物保护组织不让鹰酱在自己的沿海玩，说是会吓着了小动物。所以兔子会玩得更好的。
Moreover, the North Korean and Iranian fleets (and governments) are in decline, while China is pouring more cash into their armed forces. If there’s any diesel-electric boats the U.S. Navy has to be extremely concerned about, it’s the Chinese. While China continues to try and develop world class nuclear subs, they are also moving ahead in creating world class diesel electric boats.
比更糟糕还要糟糕的是，兔子有大把大把的小钱钱买各种各样的坏玩具。鹰酱真的非常非常在意，就是可恨的兔子，不仅玩柴电潜艇这个坏玩具，还玩核潜艇这个坏玩具。
