Nothing bizzare about that idea at all. Its actually in the works, with the main obstacle an accurate enough guidance system to get close enough for a successful kill... hard to achieve. There's a nice article about it somewhere on the net, but I've lost the link. It was either on the main Subsim.com page or maybe SeaPower Magazines site somewhere I forget.
