Here we have a report demonstrating quite how capable the stealth coatings on contemporary missile-carrying submarines are. Despite both vehicles being equipped with (different models of) the finest sonars that THALES can offer, the lead ships of the British and French deterrent fleets, Vanguard and Le Triomphant, collided in the Atlantic on 3rd February.

Nobody killed or injured, both submarines still watertight, though much expensive metal was bent.
