Y tambien para @Charly B.Ojo Charly, ésto es de la web oficial de la US Navy. Actualizada hace 7 días. No menciona ningún dispositivo sniffer para cazar los diesel eléctricos, y más cosas que tendrá a nivel tecnológico.

Description
The P-8A Poseidon is a modified Boeing 737-800ERX, bringing together a highly reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system. This combination, coupled with next-generation sensors, will dramatically improve anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capabilities.
Program Status
ACAT: I C
Acquisition Phase: Full Rate Production (FRP)
Inventory: 50
Projected Inventory: 109
Initial Operational Capabilities (IOC) date: November 2013
Projected Full Operational Capabilities (FOC) date: 2023
Features
- Open Mission System Architecture: reconfigurable and expandable system facilitating easier, more affordable upgrades.
- Sensors: Active multi-static and passive acoustic sensor system, inverse synthetic aperture/synthetic aperture radar, new electronic support measures system, new electro-optical/infrared sensor,digital magnetic anomaly detector.
- Nine-person crew: dual-pilot cockpit, five mission crew (plus relief pilot and in-flight technician). Workstations with universal multi-function displays, ready accommodation for additional workstation, workload sharing.
- Lethality: internal five-station weapons bay, four wing pylons, two centerline pylons, all supported by digital stores management allowing for carriage of joint missiles, torpedoes and mines.
- Search stores: rotary reloadable, pneumatically controlled sonobuoy launcher.
- Net Ready: Link-11/Link-16, Internet Protocol, Common Data Link (CDL), FORCEnet compliant.
- Performance based support/logistics with availability a key performance parameter.
Background
The P-8A Poseidon, the Navy's newest maritime, patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, is a multi-mission capable replacement aircraft for the legacy P-3C Orion. Designed to secure the Navy's future in long-range maritime patrol capability, the P-8A Poseidon has transformed how the Navy's maritime patrol and reconnaissance force will man, train, operate and deploy.
Boeing was awarded the contract to develop the P-8A June 14, 2004, and the P-8A program went through a preliminary design review in November 2005.
The P-8A program achieved initial operational capability in December 2013, when the first P-8A squadron (VP-16) deployed to Kadena, Japan. The program was approved for full-rate production (FRP) in January 2014, and the Navy awarded the FRP Lot I contract for 16 aircraft in February 2014. By the end of FY 2016, seven lots of low-rate initial production (LRIP)/FRP aircraft, including 80 aircraft and associated trainers, spares and support equipment, were on contract with Boeing Defense Space and Security. Six fleet squadrons have completed transition to P-8A, with 45 aircraft delivered on or ahead of schedule. The seventh fleet squadron began transition in October 2016. Increment 2 will deliver improved ASW capabilities as a series of three engineering change proposals (ECPs) and Increment 3 will continue advanced development as a series of four ECPs, with initial operational capability in FY 2023. The P-8A warfighting requirement is 117 aircraft.
The P-8A provides more combat capability from a smaller force and less infrastructure while focusing on worldwide responsiveness and interoperability with traditional manned forces and evolving unmanned sensors.

Hace mucho que los sniffer no se usan la razon es que con el aumentro de tráfico naval despues de la SGM el sensor en si ya no funciona para el rol
Al menos asi me lo contaron hace mucho
