I mean this: [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119320/]Hostile Waters[/url]

Sonar's waterfall display doesn't even look like "old-styled" screens of rotating radars.

And that missile leaking liquid propellant!
Normally used liquid propellants are "pretty" poisonous and corrosive. They'll ignite very easily and they don't burn "well", cauze they have tendency to explode! (remember [url=http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/theater/949.htm]Kursk[/url])

SSN-710 name isn't Aurora! (well, that's small error compared to others

    Forgive our Extra Tervesialu here a bit, Hostile Waters was just on last night here on one of our channels. ;) So I wasnt' the only one to watch it. :P

    E.T, it's an American movie, what do you expect? :)
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    I didn't watch it.
  • Damn, I missed that one.

    That pigs have wings and they can fly in these. (from now on)
    But still, that kind of eror is really disturbing.

    Also that Russian boomer's controls seemed too new (those displays and others) for sub which belongs to that old class. Especially cause (hightech) electronics has been very weak spot for Russians.

    It was an american low budget made for tv/video film. I was amazed there wasn't more errors. :D
  • And seemed like the american SSN had its periscope up the whole time. :rolleyes:

    Well, they do need to see where they are going! :D

    Oh yeah.
    That Russian boomer couldn't have heard trailing hunter-killer!
    Because it didn't have towed array sonar and spherical array in bow can't hear nothing through ship's hull, so submarine without it is completely "blind" for anything behind it. (maybe except noise of explosion)

    Quite a few subs have a surface search radar.

    Hmm.. sub enthusiasts. Anyone up for a game of Sub Command, mayhaps? :)

    Well, if you want to to use surface search radar underwater , who am I to prevent it.:D
    (range might be also little too short to detect anything)

    And radar is active detector so using it throws away submarines biggest assets: stealth.
    Using radar or Active sonar is like searching robber from dark house with flashlight. (he can see "you" much further than you him)
    In war it would be equal to yelling "Here I am, come to kill me!"



    Sub command is nice game! It just requires "little" (:rolleyes:) time to play it.


    There's one flaw in game. Control of launched fish is pretty primitive, I guess there should be controls also for it's depth and speed.

    Would be good for this:
    Launch it near surface where surface noice could mask launch noise (and launch near surface doesn't require so much pressurized air) and guide it to under the layer where it could close to target more faster without cavitating and also layer itself attenuates noise from different sides of it.
    So target ship would hear fish much later, they have nasty tendency to send ASW helo to bearing where they first heard incoming fish ;)

    Also I'm not sure if ADCAP should be capable of sending "sonar image" back to ship.
