Cool? It was surfaced in a port.

Finding them when they're docked in plain view isn't the hard part, when it comes to submarine detection.

Yeah, as soon as I saw the word "satellite", I knew it was a nothingburger. If a submarine is on the surface, it isn't trying to hide. If it's submerged, it's impossible for a satellite to detect it. You'd need sonar to pick it up.
