Geez.
Go get educated and get back to me, Slick.
That's not a missle. It's a Mk 46 Mod 0 surface launched torpedo. I've never suggested using missles.
But I'll just chalk that up to your growing list of profoudly ignorant ramblings.
The cool thing about torpedos is that they can be fired,
with insane accuracy, from
miles away. Assuming someone on deck
did see its' underwater wake, by the time they saw it they would have about enough to burp out half a prayer to their god before the ship explodes and sinks.
Obviously, you have no knowledge,
whatsoever, of what a torpedo can do. A Mk46 slamming into the hull of an oil tanker would be Armageddon on the high seas.
Then again, Hell, you don't even know what a torpedo
is, so your opinions on the matter are easily dismissable...

Of course I'm not surprised you suggested it.

Well, you should should be. Most things that make absolute sense are foreign to you...
