You're telling me that ANY torpedo could survive a 500-1000kg warhead detonated within even a quarter of a mile of it? I find that very hard to believe! It would at least wreck it's little transducers, making it BLIND and useless! That's if it didn't set off it's impact fuzing!

Why can't torpedoes sink other torpedoes? They're all loud and noisy and easy targets!

Anyone got questions/comments and/or theories?
