Makes me wonder how the anti-torpedo torpedos are coming along.

Update: Apparently the electronics and sensors for threat detection/localization of torpedoes has been tested in 2006 and passed muster. The next step is to integrate the anti-torpedo (or whatever it is).

The article I read said the system picked up and localized the individual torpedoes in a salvo. Perhaps the days of the submarine as the queen of the seas are coming to an end.
If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.
