Well, There you go, I stand corrected as to the mechanics of the decoy. That's one of the reasons I love this forum, I learn a lot of stuff that's sometimes very hard to find in typical history books. My previous quote from the book "Sink em all !" finds Admrl Lockwood being shown some of this early technology. In the movie, "Hunt for Red October", there was one scene where Captain Ramious (sic) launches four or six of these decoys to confuse the torpedos coming at his stern. I'm wondering if these are the same type of decoys as (in the movie) they start bubbling like crazy after they are launched.
Good Hunting!
