In Volume III of my Dragon's Fury Series of novels about a near future World War III, I have special dispensation and directives developed and the new CVX, when it is launched, is christened the U.S.S. Shanksville, CVN 93,

In addition to the many other innovations already planned for that new carrier, a bank of four new SUB-CIWS (Sub-surface Close in Weapon System) stations are added below the surface on each side added to counter the devastating supercavitating weapon the PRC has developed in the series.

Thanks Sam . . . I can understand the motivation but you're right . . . if they're not utilizing this technique anymore it must not have been effective.

FWIW, I'm taking some R&R for a week (I've got to unplug) so we'll fall-in Monday week (with a ton of reading material).

Hi Jeff, thanks. I haven't taken a look at your stuff since the old days of proof reading. lol. Shame on me. Just been very busy. Thanks for the info, link and reminder. :)

I believe it was mostly to confuse submarines and manual gunnery. Now radar and computers make it obsolete.

[snippy_about_it]

No, I'm pretty much living here at the Foxhole with SAMWolf and don't get out much, lol, unless I'm pinged, which you should do now and again.

Ping me. :)

A very interesting thread today. I've not been posting lately because I am on "vacation" in the People's Republic of California. I'll be back in about a week or so.
