That was do to our liberal policies. We should have warned them once, then blew them out of the water.

Quote:One WWII vintage torpedo took out the Belgrano in the Falklands war. Against modern torpedoes and cruise missiles do any but the mightiest of ships stand a chance? Today's torpedoes explode under the ship leaving a void where the ship's own weight cracks it in two. In light of this it's probably better to have smaller crews.

The Phalanx system could take care of surface torpedoes, with a few modifications. Believe it or not, bullets of that size and capacity, travel pretty well through water.
