also a shape charged warhead would have to be imensly powerful to take on a titanium double hulled submarine (none exist) as for a single hulled titanium submarine it could do enough damage to slice open the hull slightly and could cause one or two compartments to flood which to an alfa is death anyway
the typhoon however is a diffrent matter one sharpe charge could get through the outer hull yes but what about the inner hull unless you got two shape charges in one warhead which is doubntful unless they are small then your only going to do slight damage to the pressure hull
the MK48ADCAP isnt as powerful as many make out if it does have a shape charge warhead then its definatly not that powerful and would not sink an oscar or typhoon a smaller submarine akula victor maybe.
850kg of shape charge could bring down most submarines yes but only if there hulls are in relatively close proximaty other wise the molten copper would cool before reaching the inner hull which wouldnt do any damage little if that.
if the warhead was 850kg or more of HE explosive then you could puncture the inner hull of any submarine regardless but you probly only flood two compartments at most the typhoon and oscars can stay aflot with three compartments flooded as long as they surface
now all that is not from me i emailed controlled demolition inc to get that answer and thats what was basicaly said

Care to test that theory?
