I was a bit alarmed at the fact they can apparently launch them at any depth.

In RSR I believe you could launch anything at 300ft, in Cold waters it is reduced. Fair enough.

The Shkval is all well and good, but at that speed, I can't see it would be able to hear or detect anything, and you can surely just dodge the thing at any distance?

I can understand the thinking- fire a nuclear equipped version in the general direction of a carrier group and watch the stampede.
