steveann:Last I heard, the Taliban was attempting to turn our killer dolphins against us. Either that or recruit suicide puffer fish.
You do what needs to be done to protect yourself. If someone dies in the process lets just hope it the other guy.Scuba Brad:I'm with Bruce. Just let them try it. No company, person, or thing has the right to commit murder in our country. I'm sure if we created a "ship denial" system designed to sink any ship that got close to us they would have concerns. I have my doubts that something like this would ever get launched. WHAT IN THE WORLD is Raytheon thinking???? Are they crazy.
Happy Diving
steveann:... As for the sound defense thing, it sounds better than what I've heard of them doing before. On a routine basis, the call of "divers in the water" would set off an entire naval base's active sonar systems, which would promptly ruin any living thing in the water in the vicinity.
Tigern:Ships don't all go "active" on sonar just because of a report of a diver in the water. If "diver in the water" is called all ships man extra watches, and station lookouts to see if they can spot the diver. Then EOD is called into start searching vessels near where the call was made to determine if anything was attached to a ship.
