Yes, I can imagine, from my time with the simulation, that a sophisticated torpedo with the ability to run at 500kts for a 15-20 mile terminal phase would be extremely ugly.

I really need to get your books, don't I? ;-)

Dang reading stack just grows and grows. It's "Arrogance" by Bernard Goldberg this week, a short, fast read.

Harpoon is absolutely the best naval simulation game on the market. Bond did a great job and it's just shy of being so good that it would be classified. The US Naval Reserve used it for training I understand.

I was dissappointed (again) when Harpoon IV washed out.

I have been told that there are some war college scenarios being gamed that include the weapon I have fictionalized. I hope so, because the smaller version has been worked on quite extensively by the Ruskies and it would not take to much of a strecth (particularly since the smaller version has legs that are way too short) for someone to come up with a larger one...loaded on naval or even container ships to look like containers and then launched from significant distances at our forces.

Anyhow...it's just fiction.

If you get the books, please let me know what you think of them as you read them.

Best Fregards.
