A team of Chinese researchers reported an accomplishment in tracking the United States Navy’s stealthiest submarines, which might change the dynamics of naval combat.

The study, led by Li Yuhang of the 713th Research Institute of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), says that submarines moving faster than 20 knots cause minute waves on the ocean’s surface that can be seen by ultra-high-resolution radar.
This phenomenon, known as “surface wake,” has been recognized for decades, but it was previously believed to be impracticable for monitoring submarines due to minor disruptions compared to natural wave motions.
Li’s study used real-world data from sensors in the South China Sea, which is routinely monitored by US Navy submarines.
This study’s findings may have significant consequences for US Navy operations.
