Oh yeah, took waayyyy too long to develop and has never actually been used, so it could be the ADCAP is better...

... but as far as the stats go...

Go Google for yourself.

I was on the ADCAP test platform. It rawks.

[Mr. Harley]

Since WW2 the Brits have been making some of the best torpedoes in the world. Note the Spearfish 500 pounds heavier, slightly longer, with the same warhead. It take very little intelligence to realize the Brits are putting extra fuel in it. Duh. Which gives better performance. All you need to do is keep up a cursory reading of current develpments to know the Brits have been beating the US in convential torpedo development for decades.

Those aren't even the primary things I think about in a torpedo. For instance when comparing 48 to 48 ADCAP.

Launch that sheit beyotch!

that's all useless because British subs suck ass compared to ours.

[Tattila the Hun]

They're more costly, would make a bigger dent in budget, when sunk by the british cheaper one...

[Dis]

alright, that's it. Time to teach the British another lesson. We haven't been at war in ages. I think it's about time the U.S. faught with Britain again.

[Dauphin]

Diss, if you want Canada to burn down Washington DC, just ask.

[RGBVideo]

This thread would be a lot funnier if the US wasn't a military dictatorship.

Which is why it is ruled by men loyal to military who have bravely served in the armed forces and are part of it...

Ah yes, George Bush Jr.s notable conduct in the Battle of Houston, in which he ably defended the contents of several liquor stores from the Viet Cong insurgents.

I think theirs are like our 20-30 year old models.

We don't talk about how good they are...

...but Trafalgar Batch 2 due to enter service 21st century. Of course it's late.

20-30 year old? We don't guarantee the hulls that long.

And if you want a war... why did you sell us all those Trident missiiles?

EDIT: If there's a better weapon system, we'll buy it UNLESS we can develop a cheaper better version outservles.

Which is why Spearfish Vs ADCAP is a good example; Spearfish is expensive (to us) but the money spent on that is maybe 20% what you spent on ADCAP.

See? We can swallow out pride much better and admit we couldn't do it for things like AWACS E-3s... but we're not afraid to try alternatives first.

You can't do that because your beloved defence industry has lots of friends in Washington... go figure.

Don't ask Canadians about the quality of british submarines.
