No, but I have friends ..... grin

The Kursk was testing rocket torpedos when it sank. The Idea of fast
rocket torps is not really novel anymore. As is neither the idea that
a carrier is prone to a ballistic missile attack, even with a concrete
payload, phalanx or no.


The 'idea' of fast 'rocket' torpedoes isn't new but getting one to work reliably
certainly is. Also, the idea that a fast moving inert torpedo, or any but the
biggest torpedoes, is likely to seriously damage a bird farm is preposterous.
They carry nukes and are armored accordingly.
