  1. 🎉 Today marks the birthday of Jane’s Combat Simulations: 688(I) Hunter/Killer!

    Released in 1997, this #classic #simulation lets you command the #688I #nuclear #submarine — a silent, lethal #hunter beneath the #waves.

    Manage twelve detailed #stations, track enemies with realistic #sonar, and launch precise #torpedoes. It’s a game of patience, #strategy, and skill, with no flashy #action — just authentic cold war #naval #catandmouse gameplay.

    Even decades later, it remains one of the most respected #submarine #simulations ever made.

  2. I found a paper exploring the use of hybrid solid/gas rocket engines for marine propulsion. The authors go through the reasons why rocket torpedos or rocket boats haven't caught on yet, but also why they still could be useful. Essentially they will be most useful when speed is the dominating factor. mdpi.com/2226-4310/6/3/28

    Although you may not believe it, #RoyalNavy's weapons control and target acquisition runs under #Microsoft #Windows XP. In addition to the fact that☢️#Nukes of the british #Vanguard class submarines can fail, #Torpedoes can be screwed up.

    #Bdellovibrio #microbes are bacteria-seeking #torpedoes sometimes called “the world’s smallest #hunters.” Only one fifth the size of a typical #bacterium, they punch above their weight. An individual Bdellovibrio darts about until it happens to smash into prey. When it does, the impact is so violent that the victim reels several cell lengths and stops moving within seconds.
