You'd still need to dump hardware into the ocean to catch the reflected signals. Might as well use it as the transmitter while you're at it, lot cheaper than a laser. :hmmm:

Clearly what is needed is fricking sharks...with fricking laser beams attached to their heads...

Now they would destroy a sub.

It is only a matter of time before going underwater means you are just as easy to kill as on the surface.
