Future Sub Weapons: Sound? - Future Sub Warfare Scenarios

[jonbell]

[color=#000000]Guys,

I'm doing some research for a submarine-based techno-thriller story, set about 30 years in the future. I've gotten some great input from some sub folks on the rec.arts.sf.science newsgroup, but I wanted to ping people here for their input as well.

Defensive (and Offensive?) Weapon #1]http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/solitons/)[/url] The end result is that the Baddies can knock an incoming torpedo to pieces (or cause its warhead to detonate) long before the torp gets close enough to kill.

Defensive Weapon #2]

Steve,

Thanks very much for your

Steve,

Thanks very much for your comments (and it's good to talk to you again!)

Because of the length of my previous message, I didn't include all of the other story details, but I can say this]http://www.subcommittee.com/forum/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, I can't say too much more about the actual story, but I do want to get the science at least reasonably plausible. If you have any more ideas or suggestions, please toss 'em out. Thanks!
