    Hey! Congrats on all of your wonderful NROTC experence. I'm currently active duty navy ON subs. Yeh... I think I know what I'm talking about... While you are right that they do vary speeds... its usually loud, louder and really loud. Modern SONAR systems are able to pick up the AC units onboard sound proofed subs... I don't think detecting a torpedo is going to be *that* difficult. oh, and btw, your speeds on the torpedos are off aswell. While the actuall speeds are classified, they go *way* faster than that.

    "Drive up to X point real slow, with sonar off, so the ship doesn't realize you're coming, then, go active, hunt it down, and blow it up. I torpedo in the water sounds like a lawnmower... They are going to hear it. The idea behind a torpedo is to lock onto the target and get the F*** out as quickly as possible. He failed freshman physics AND Tropedos 101. Aparently, so did you.
