A type 7 uboat spawns in the gulf of mexico in current day, how many ships of any type can it sink before being detected and sunk?

given that modern SSBNs of non-western nations have been described as ''louder than two skeletons fucking a metal trash can', I'd have to say none
How well monitored is the area? Cartel uses a lot of wierd stuff to smuggle drugs that rarely gets caught.
The Gulf of Mexico, even leaving aside the military, has a fuck ton of oil rigs that'd likely notice it. As far as the military goes..... they noticed the Oceangate sub exploding from like a thousand miles away.
>He doesnt know nuclear is always louder than diesel-electric running electric
>he doesn’t know about natural circulation reactors
>he thinks forties era u-boats are anything like modern diesel-electrics
bahahhaha who the fuck said that
about tree fiddy yeah fuck ya mudda
depends on if they have enough intelligence to disguise their movements as belonging to a state military rather than being a lone rogue vessel
if they managed to goof around japan they could implicate norks or even the chinese
The uboat is probably better with a more capable crew than whatever shit north korea has
>Gulf of Mexico
At least read the OP before replying
>Of any type
Well, if you can't civilian vessels, then a lot.
Shipping boats, barges, oil rigs, yachts, fishing boats, and cruise ships.
The USCG would be all over it like flies on shit thinking it is the biggest, baddest, most career making-est narco semi-sub ever recorded.
>answer the question
They would probably damage 1-3 ships before getting obliterated. The Gulf is usually fair weather seas and there are friendly ports in every direction, so hopefully none of the damaged vessels are lost.
Not many.
They can't resupply.
11-16 maximum
>spawns
gamercide now
"Sub magically appears" better?
Kys
She's a tough one!
We'll have to put two more in her.
Close tubes 1 and 3.
Open tubes 2 and 4.
Adjust range to 900m.
Adjust gyro angle 2 degrees left.
Spread 8 degrees.
Tube 2, Los!
Tube 4, Los!
She's looks like a 200,000 tonner. BdU will be proud.

I can tell that this anon is a Silent Hunter veteran.
>u boat spawns, at about periscope depth with kill everything orders, crew is assumedly HIGHLY competent for sake of experiment
>instantly detected by spooky Navy monitoring hardware
>safely assuming it’s some kind of narco sub from being audibly diesel and too small for a state navy the CG is deployed to do what they normally do and catch it
>catch it, not sink it
> CG boats close in on it rapidly, communicate with civil ships to steer clear to avoid interfering with the pursuit, unwittingly saving them
Two scenarios:
Optimistic:
>CG choppers reach it before it can even detect the CG boats
>spotting the choppers it crash dives because terrifying barely known technology
>navy sensors immediately realize it’s too fancy to be a narco boat as it dinks that deep, Navy takes over and either forces surrender or deletes it with vastly superior tech
>inflicted casualties: 0
Pessimistic:
>CG boats surround it
>it fires torpedos while periscope depth
>narco boats don’t do that. CG has no countermeasure and didn’t expect this
>light CG vessel sunk, other light vessels pull out and heavy vessels, if there, deploy countermeasures.
>Navy or CG puts it down with extreme prejudice
>inflicted casualties: up to 3 light craft assuming amazing hit rate and reload from U boat
> CG has no countermeasure
Except, you know, changing direction because straight-running torpedo.
You gotta see it coming though, krauts had electric torpedos
By 41 they had torpedoes that could make adjustable ladder search patterns. And by early 43 they had acoustic homing torpedoes.
Depends.
if it could steam near a really busy port like Houston I'm sure it could loose all of it's loaded eels and make a few easy hits Simply for the fact that I highly doubt anyone would recognize the threat until a few minutes after it blew something up. It would probably die almost immediately to responding coastguard helicopters with .50's or scrambled navy/marine ASW helicopters/jets in a couple hours.
Anywhere between 0 and 1, before it's sunk by a P-3 or P-8 out of Jacksonville.
