Torpedos travel at around 25-35 knots.

That's not true.
Don't believe what you read on Wikipedia. The maximum operating speeds and depths of our torpedos are classified information. You won't see them listen on Wikipedia. Yes, our torpedos travel at 25-356 knots. They also travel much faster than that...

Speeboats can top 45 knots.

So can our torpedos...

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

Well, depending on the guidance system of the torpedo, it's actually not too difficult.
You
do know that torpedos can hit a maneuvering target, right?
No, you
didn't know that?

Solletica, I spent 20 years as a US Navy Sonar Technician. Ya' know what one of the jobs of a US Navy Sonar Technician is? Firing Mk 46 torpedos.
You didn't even know the fucking thing
was a torpedo until I told you. There's no reason then, whatsover (and this is backed up by your idiotic claims about our ASW/ASUW warfare capabilities), to think that you might actually know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to their capabilities.
Being an opinionated liberal no-nothing on an internet forum hardly qualifies you to speak with any authority on the subject. 20 years of actually working in the field qualifies me.
But, go ahead; keep going. I love watching you make yourself look more ignorant than we would've imagined possible...
