Of course Kurushio, but in addiction to eliminate the offence with a single "hit", they could take possess of the units and for example copy the technology.
I think it's easier to "hit" a platform with a cloud of bacteria then with a missile basically... how would you defend yourself?

You close the hatch. :roll:

Serrously, in the old Soviet navy they had sailors trained to go out in suits and scrub down the ship after an NBC attack.

Ok but firs you have to realize what is happening and that it's coming :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
I'm gonna search the web about that :smug:

I think they close the hatches anyway during battles to help with flood control if the ship is hit.

Well I know certen army vehicles have sensors than warn of NBC attack and dangers so I assume the much more expensive warships have them too. I think in 'Nimitz Class' the ships and a sensor that told them of the radation danager and automaticly shut down ventalation and sealed the ship from the outside air.

The sensors would be aboard the ship I suppose, the alarm would come when the stuff is already in your blood I'd assume

I would like to see more "weird" ideas in here :lol: , like the one of the black papers on the north pole...
Myself I add another one: why don't deoploy a subnet behind the sub to catch an incoming torpedo? the net would open using explosives and the torpedo would get trapped in it and slowed down, with a bit of luck the net would block the torpedoe's helix eliminating the treath :hmm: of course the torpedo must be right behind you... it's cheap also :lol:

And what happens if the torpedo doesn't come in from your six ? :-?
You're pretty screwed.

You maneuver in order to have it at your six

But it will save the guys below decks, and in wartime most people will be below decks on a modern ship.

Its been done, battleships around the turn of the century had nets they can deploy along side to catch torpedoes. This idea was also used to guard ships in port as late as WWII. Also sounds alot like the W-Gun devloped by the Barb's XO in WWII.

Nexus...you want weird? Ok...I've thought about this long and hard...at night, staring at the ceiling (when I couldn't sleep...not when humping my girl by the way). :yep: Anyway, could be weird for some. I think it's a good idea. And cheap. Did I mention cheap?

I think they should build fleets of polystyrene ships, to exact dimensions which are then towed by obselete SSBN (or other rusty subs). Could be rubber ships. Painted.

What do you think? :smug:

I might be dead wrong, but sometimes I have the impression that the amount of classified (virtually unknown) devices and capabilities is much more complex than what I get to assume playing DW, like if we get to deal with stuff that was modern 20 years ago :roll: :oops:

Oh like the inflatable tank decoys Ivan devloped? :know:

Yep, I admit I got the idea from that...and also the British did it in WW2 to good effect. But has it ever been thought of at sea?

But let's just admit that it's hard this day and age having an original idea...how about a ship made of biological material which "heals" itself if damaged? :rock:That's not my idea, by the way...I read it in a newspaper.

In sprit yes. The U-Boats had a decoy they could release that reflected radar signals giving a false target. Making the shape of a ship is of little value in the days of beyond visual range detection.

Didn't the seaQuest DSV have a hull like that?

What about torpedoes with nuclear propulsion? And at least have it sending the pinging frequency back to the boat might help. You could know if your torpedo aquired the sub or the decoy...
