I know WWII had air-dropped torps, but I was dreaming of cruise missile turning into torp at 10 mile range or whatever. Eliminates need for popup maneuver (which is, I would think, most critical time)

Plus the torp could extend a 3-meter whip antenna and home in via radar instead of just sonar....12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I figured it was something like that.
hey, on my ships, all the girls were big and looked like dy-- I mean lesbos . Is that more to your liking?
SP's are a joke anyways. They always have been. Just a joke duty assignment for worthless low grade with nothing better to do. When carriers pulled into port, they'd assign all sorts of people with little training for SP duty. They aren't real master at arms rated people. There are real master at arms rates. I did temporary duty in security division, and worked with real master at arm rates. They are a little tougher than your average squid. Though I still wouldn't take them in a fight over a marine . With a few exceptions though. I did know a couple who were into martial arts and such, and many of them were heavy into weightlifting- which doesn't say much for their fighting capabilities. But at least they can someone drag a drunk squid into the brig.
