Hunt For Red October Is Over
STOCKHOLM – Swedish authorities called off their weeklong search for a suspected submarine in the Stockholm archipelago Friday, saying the presumed intruder had probably escaped into the Baltic Sea.
Naval and amphibious forces were ordered back to base, while some ground forces remained in the search area, military officials said.
"We assess that the (vessel) that violated our waters has now left," Rear Adm. Anders Grenstad said.
I have a question for the Navy guys out there - how can a sub get out of there without being detected by sonar? Wouldn't any type of propulsion give it away, or am I missing something?
