Expect tons of dead fish floating around after each test.

I don't think there are any left in the Atlantic anyway...

True, and now we know why?

Would that even work? Wouldn't the transducers just push the ship to the side?

Yep and the poor whales will beach themselves...
I wish they would stop this.. it causes terrorism... if your weapons systems are undefeatable, people have no other choice...

They would have a better chance hitting the sub it self rather than detonating the torpedo. If one calculates the pressure needed to detonate the torpedo, calculate the possible area of impact necessary to actually hit the torpedo, the energy is really large in order for it to be detonated. If the torpedo has a homing device based on sound, it is much easier to use adequately phased sounds to fool the torpedo, much like the way a surround sound speaker array is used by JVC.

The link does not work for me.

works fine for me ... very interesting to be able to use a "speaker" to blow up torpedoes! No limit on how many times they can fire it, save having sufficient fuel/power supply.

Saying weapons cause terrorism, is like saying spoons cause fat people.
