[QUOTE="PhoenixM3, post: 17030132, member: 140283"] Submarines have a very different approach for torpedo evasion. Order up all ahead flank (usually followed by the word "cavitate") Noisy, but if the bad guy already had a mediocre firing solution, you're more concerned with outrunning a torpedo, and surviving vice sticking around and developing a firing solution on the guy who just shot at you. You'll also likely change depth, and launch countermeasures to deceive the incoming torpedo. When I was aboard my second boat, we participated in a TORPEX where we tested Mk50 torpedoes. These are small and launched from ASW airborne platforms. Our ship was free to do everything needed to avoid. These torpedos homed-in and impacted us greater than 80% of the time. Obviously there was no warhead, but they're designed to just take a boat out of the fight by punching a hole in the hull, so a boat would be forced to slow and come shallow. [/QUOTE]
