    It was impressive but it happened in 1999. The Dutch Captain said that he doubted he could do it again and indeed a different Dutch Submarine failed at it the next year.

    Carriers are considerable faster (30 Knots) than Diesel Subs (20 Knots) too, something the Dutch Captain touches on in that article.

      Well in my mind few years ago was 1999…

      Seriously though I thought this only happened within the last 10 years, TIL.
