" They are easy targets when on station?" So in other words after active hostilities have broken out and the Chinese are sinking our repair ships? I think if active hostilities are underway the Chinese Subs will already be destroyed and the sensors will be irrelevant.
Back in my uniformed Navy days, I had the opportunity to oversee the construction and trials of the T-AGOS-19 class and complete the construction and trials of T-AGOS-23. Two duty stations prior to that, I was part of a Naval War College board exercise that postulated a naval engagement ten years in the future. In that make-believe war, the way we knew the Soviet Union had declared war was when Spetsnaz troops parachuted onto all of our T-AGOS-1 class ships and killed their crews. Unarmed and going in harm's way is not the way to prepare for war.
