Sea Leopard — Craig Thomas

New York Times�"Bestselling Author: A captured submarine must be retrieved from the Russians before they can decode its cutting-edge technology . . .
 
The Royal Navy is testing Sea Leopard, an anti-sonar device that can make its subs virtually undetectable. But before the work can be completed, their nuclear submarine Proteus is targeted and trapped by the Soviet Union -- whose military is determined to figure out, and steal, this new technology.
