Torpedoes only work against ships, obviously!
Yes! You’ve got the spirit! This other guy with the audacity to think I hadn’t already considered that. And before anyone says depth charges, those only work on submarines. Surface to surface missiles? Good luck - the plane is under the surface.
I just finished “Red Storm Rising”, which as you know, is the equivalent of a PhD in underwater awesomeology and I see no problem with this.
