@Slyvered( also my mistake on your second point)

Good luck trying to hide a submarine with TWO nuclear reactors even single reactor submarines we have today, requires perfect weather and sea conditions to have a high chance of slipping away undetected.

The fact the Scinfaxi was found by one, ONE! Patrol aircraft via sonobuoys already say a lot to it's sound emission underwater. Add to that you only need one Patrol aircraft to hunt down the Alicorn means they're Very noisy-to-Noisy boats.

Hunting the Alicorn from under water might as well be just as easy on hunting it from the surface and without any torpedoes for any counter attack against dedicated attack submarines, the Alicorn is basically a moving target.

The Scinfaxi/Alicorn's design and intended use is great and all, but the way the Yukes(Scinfaxi) and Eruseans(Alicorn) deployed those ships makes their design/concepts pointless. To be fair to the Yukes atleast they learn from their mistakes (then again they had two subs and Erusea got theirs stolen)
