Default If you were to design a CM...

If you were a navy engineer, and needed to design a CM for use on submarines... wouldn't it make sense to equip the CM with a small warhead, so that whenever the torp reached the CM, the CM would explode and damage the torpedo?

It seems like such a straightforward and simple idea. A heck of alot simpler than the anti-torpedo torpedo systems that are being developed right now...:hmm: ...

The CM wouldn't need a propulsion or guidance system because the torp comes to it. All that would be needed is a proximetry detector of some sort to trigger the blast and walla, anti-torp system.

...Hmm...maybe SCS was on to something with the "torps detonating on countermeasure" gameplay. Perhaps there are systems like that already in production?

Opinions?
