I've been saying for years the Navy should be investing in a small number of AIP attack boats to supplement our fleet of SSNs.
We do at least rent out some of our allies boats for training purposes, but we should have some of our own.

Sweden Has A Sub That's So Deadly The US Navy Hired It To Play Bad Guy
We have been glued all week to the sub saga off the coast of Sweden, where six days in Swedish forces have only now called off their search for an elusive sub hiding in the waters off Stockholm. Yet what nobody has mentioned is just how deadly and capable Sweden’s own subs are, and there are few better weapons for catching a sub than another sub.

PO2 Robert Aitchison
LCDR (Join to see) - The fear is that these super quiet AIP boats could make it past the DDG/CG screen protecting the CSG and land a hit on a carrier. Even if it doesn't sink, a single Torpedo hit on a carrier would almost certainly take it out of the fight because modern ships are built with a lower level of survivability than older ones were (modern naval doctrine logically prefers not getting hit over building ships to soak up damage and keep fighting).
