Their German when do they look happy?? (Well other then when there is beer or when out on a conquest of Europe) :-j

Lol good one. But hey, I dont think anyone would look happy being fired out of a torpedo tube.

Again. They don't get 'fired'. The tube will be flooded and the hatch opened. Then they go on their own.

I also have seen this on TV. They even have shown footage from inside the tube when it was flooded. Kind of 'claustrophobia deluxe'. I think that is the reason the don't look very excited. It will never be done with just only one guy - only with at least two, so that they can help each other when a diving gear has a malfunction. All the time a member of the crew with a wrench is standing next to the tube. If there are problems occuring they communicate through 'knocking'...

Well what could possibly go wrong in such a situation? :lol:

So do torpedo tubes double up as guest beds when you have visitors staying the night? They look quite cosy...

Back on the actual strange weapon ideas, I seam to recall a US program where they were training Dolphins to bump their noses up against ship hulls in reward for food and play. Then of course the sick bastards designed the huge bomb backpack they would wear with a nose bump detonator. I hate people sometimes, I mean Dolphins?? Common!

Sounds like these russian tank-mine dogs in WW2... This time it always works as intended? :) What if the dolphins convert to islam? :D

Puzzling comparison :nope:

Worth a pool? :arrgh!:

There is this tale that the soviets in ww2 trained dogs to run under tanks. Then they bound some mine on their back and send them for german tanks. But for dogs a tank is a tank, no matter if the marking is a 'swastika' or a 'red star'...
Dolphins are said to be much smarter...but how much smarter?
If I would be a dolphin in US Navy - i would openly convert to Islam. Shortest way out...

Actually, all the Arab-language TV stations in the United States are saturated with ads recruiting arabs and Muslims for the FBI, CIA, and armed services.

Shure, for translation work, because electronic ami-intel collects lots of stuff, but they cant 'read it [at] all'. :)

just watch u-571 they do it

Well, I think the ultimate answer to the question "what happens if you fire a man out of a torpedo tube" is a "a lot of pieces." :lol:

Ok here is my idea for evil new naval weapon: Scenario is a sub has been detected and is being hunted by a helo with a active dunking sonar. The sub shoots torpedo toward the next expected dunk location, or maybe several of them. The torpedo "loiters" at low power when it reaches the area, then when the helo lowers the sonar head, torpedo accelerates and actively or passively homes in on sonar head and blows it up, and probably the helo above it as well. Sort of a naval version of the HARM or ALARM anti radar missles, an anti sonar torpedo. It could even be miniturized to make it cheap and hard to detect, and have a 'sub-munition' warhead that could detach and magneticaly stick to sonar head. "Sonar operator to pilot, something weird is going on here, reeling in sonar head now. Pilot looks out and sees something hanging off of sonar, what the ------KERBLAAAAM!!!:know:

As smart to try to deceive their trainers. I've red an article about dolphins trained to search scuba divers and alert them... when they do that, they take a fish... well some dolphins alerted for non-existing intruders just to take their food!

And that was not the only problems, as they are intelligent (in an animal way, don't try to compare with human), they also get bored or simply want to play so you can never be 100% sure about them.
