“I wonder how devastating loss of a single dam would be to their country..........
Perhaps we could convince”Little Fat Boy” ...”
I thought you were asking what a nuclear bomb would do to a dam.
Fat Man and Little Boy were the names of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

"...instead of trying to track a plane with radar, we shall have to track the condensed air trail or the air pressure envelope..."Freeper Jeff Head wrote about this in his novels, wherein we go to war with China - they learn to defeat our stealth technology in this manner, rendering "stealth" obsolete.

Thats all they do on Star Trek when trapped in a nebula while engaged with an adversary. Just follow the other guys tail pipe. He has to be burning something to make his ship “go”.

It is no longer fiction anyway.
Same thing applies to Navy Ships and Subs. You can have all kinds of stealth tec on a ship to disable radar, but you can’t hide the wake.

I remember the B-70 never got past the prototype stage, because the Soviets developed missiles that could shoot it down and they no longer had to rely on interceptors. I could see the $10s of billions spent on stealth going the same way.

I work on ships in a tangential way.
We had a contract with the Navy and I got to see the docs, and one of the topics was hiding surface vessels by spraying them and the immediate area with mass amounts of water.
That was a new one for me; never heard of that before.

Sure, I just thought it was unique and novel, and had never heard of that tactic before.
Apparently it hides the heat signature.
