A torpedo is faster
true
i think they were thinking of both ability to pursue and get into a position to launch at a number of targets
other subs may have not been able to keep up, or take way too long to finally get there, per mission spec
but if you’re gonna wake everyone up on the way to get there, well you’re a huge blaring target yourself :)
I’m familiar with the Army term DATs - for my Friends in the Navy, is a submariner an underwater DAT?
