<HTML>Walter has the right idea, forget weapons, put low cost capitalism to work for you!!!

Interesting question; I suspect that the torpedos of present navies are optimized to hunt for and damage other nations offensive weapons (ie kill boomers and carriers and the like). Hey, a little nukie torpedo would sink whatever it hit, capital or merchant. I wonder if any served(ing) naval personnel can offer facts re navy torpedos against today\'s gigantic merchant ships. Can you imagine the environmental consequences of sinking a huge tanker? Just one would be comparable to what Iraq did in flaming the oilfields.</HTML>
