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...
So you posted a pic of a torpedo? ?! Torpedos travel at around 25-35 knots. Speeboats can top 45 knots.

How is a 30-35 knot weapon going to take out a faster moving target that's not always moving straight?

A guided missile at least has a chance. A torpedo

It would appear everything's foreign to Steve.
