The only problem is they leak gas?

I see.

What a deal for the guys in the torp room.

In addition to lead lined jock straps, the Rooskies must wear a gas mask, right ?

No kidding. Adm. Oleg Yerofeyev should be on the boat that takes them out again. He has the same arrogance and nonchalance that got Nitrofan Nedelin and many others killed.

They leak by design hydrogen peroxide H2O2 always decays at a slow rate to 2H2O+O2 releasing the 02 gas at a slow rate or the tank pressure builds up to BOOM! These wake homing super sized torps are a real threat as nothing we have can intercept them under water. The MK50 was supposed to be designed to do limited anti-torpedo torpedo work but it was too expensive and canceled. These torps have a conventional warhead large enough that if a couple hit the backbone of a carrier its toast. Even one would probably be a mobility kill.
