on the other hand, they only have inferior PASSIVE sonar. in sub warfare, anyone can hear ANYTHING with active sonar. the problem is you give yourself away. if you have superior range and effectiveness with your supercavitating torpedo, you dont need to care about your own stealth.

start actively pinging, find your targets, kill them. it could indeed revolutionize sub warfare.

Let me tell you, you have a good point here. I know nothing of naval warfare, but what you say definitively makes sense.

With a long range, fast speed torpedo you could indeed go active sonar, find your target, fire away, and then turn off your active sonar and go back into the darkness.
