Those are some serious arguments, Bill. So '8000yds, 28kts' are parameters of the torpedo ? Those are mentioned anywhere on the net.

But it can be clearly seen on pictures that CAPTOR itself has no propeller. Only the torpedo inside has one.

Such weapon has even less usage options in DW I guess.

PS: how long can CAPTOR stay on watch ? I didn't find it mentioned anywhere. I know it has fuel-based energy plant, nothing more.
