That's some pretty ingenious doctrine fixing LW. Wow. :|\
@Henson: Ditto what LW said, its interesting to know whats reality versus Hollywood. I have to admit that my own perceptions of wire breaks were guided mostly by Tom Clancy books
Sounds like sub speed breaks aren't really the issue they seemed to be...
On a semi-realted note...what if... an ADCAPs snake is removed and the torp is near the limits of its wire. How does one know whether the torp is not responding to course changes because its wire has already broken or rather because its homing into the target... the only way that comes to mind is to temporarily preenable the torp to see if it actually turns off... anyone other way that one can think of?
