Underwater long-range detection is (mostly) done by sound -- that entails: Reducing as much as possible the emission of noises (specially regular, periodical noises) to avoid detection, and; Being able to listen better -- and farther away -- than one's adversary. Nuclear Reactors for submarines are a breed apart. read more
