I bet that if you were the superpower, you would have already "fixed" all the wrong things in the world, wouldn't you?

I'm sorry for breaking it to you, but if one day your country becomes the superpower, its going to be hated as much as the US is hated today.

Sigh... it's so hard to express myself in the way I would like. My native language is Dutch (wow, really?), so English is not my primary language. I don't have the same feel for it like you.
I was mearly (typo, maybe?) trying to point out the general feeling of the world towards America. I didn't want to attack you or the beautful country that America is. I´ve some friends living in California, so I´ve been to America and saw the beauty of the country... and the smog.

I think other readers are not feeling at ease with this little conversation of ours, so shall we burry the axe of war and make peace brother?

Oh BTW, nice speeches in the course of our conversation.

Edit: I gave you the full 5 stars for this most enjoyable little talk of ours. Thumbs up for us!

I was thinking about how to stop a fast torp also. Something in the water for it to hit was also my first thought. Also thought if you could distrupt the SuperCavitation bubble around the torp it would cause drag and maybe slow it down or alter it's course irreversibly (my big word of the day).
In fact you can make a ship sink by putting enough Methane in the water that it alters it's density and things won't float!
"Helm, what's that smell?" "I think we're being flushed sir!"

Hahahaha... "Sir, we've been jammed. It's strawberry."

Another 5 full stars today for the fact that The EvilGenius like my beloved homecountry.

I was thinking perhaps you could launch a canister of compressed air toward the torpedo as far as you could then have it release a curtain of air bubbles in front of the torp. I'm not sure what would happen in that case.

Hafnium and elements with similar properties are really very cool. the ability to charge up an element with energy and then set it off is pretty slick. sub nuclear, but much better than conventional explosives.

maybe this will revive the davy crocket project in another form. unfortuneatly, it still leaves small traces of radioactive fallout.

The potential for polonium powered nuclear batteries is pretty cool, too. everyone remember that theoretical man-portable chemical laser? THAT was cool. polonium power sources could also solve some of the battery life and generator weight problems they are having with the battlefield armored suits that DARPA is developing.

How about a star drive? Or perhaps a high output ion engine?

Thought i'd drop my thoughts here

Considering we're on a public forum, dfiscussing this i imagine it means not only The US but other countries will be developing counters for this torpedo, In reality this weapon may never become used if it's rendered obsolete before the need to use it.

That and Imagine what else the military's of the world are building! If it's going to give the country a huge advantage the information is very rarely released to the public, in truth, we can speculate and listen to rumours but we have no idea what other "war changing" weapons are being developed all over the globe!

For all we know my countries, The UK, top brass arn't sitting around with tea and crumpets and are funding the creation of Anti Proton Beams

EDIT: Actually thinking about it, it could all be speculation, it was in the media I remember stories about how everyone was terrfied that nations were developing Laser armed satelites that could track people by Mobile Phones and kill them within a rather accurate range. Did this ever happen? Not to my memory. Either way we'll develop something really nasty and we're all going to wipe ourselves out with it, something that makes a nuclear bomb useless. Hopefully we won't, but looking around today i have little hope left for this race...
