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: ... http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_291277.html http://www.navyleague.org/sea_power/jun06-69.php 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?
