I don't understand why to send anyone to do the job of a torpedo?
Thanks, I may seem like an arse...but I just wanted to understand the reasons why.Because they couldn't get a submarine or PT boat near the target without getting blown out of the water. The few successful attacks on ships by combat swimmers were in heavily guarded enemy harbors. Using swimmers/divers were last resort options in most cases.
It will be interesting to watch the evolution of long range AUVs and torpedo technology merge in the next decade.
