US, UK, French, Russian and Spanish subs probably all patrolling Gibraltar at the same time. Surprised they don't bump into each other. Oh wait... they do!

Fly was correct the layer is actually a thermocline layer. That is completely due to strong shift in seawater temperature across a relatively small change in depth. The temp delta T causes a change in density and concentration in salinity which causes sound waves to be reflected both above and below the layer. Ships and subs can use various sensors to determine where the layer is and then deploy towed arrays below or above. Depending on the depth, smart sub captains would move above and below the layer depending on the tactical situation and how they think the surface ship would act. This was 3-dimensional cat and mouse played over hours or days.

When using wake homing torpedoes you have to lead the ships. You do not fire at the ship. You want the torpedo to cross the wake close behind the ship. Wake homing torpedoes are very dangerous when used correctly. You should have fired 4 wakes from one sub and 4 passives from the other sub.

In this situation, the Alpha would be the Hound. It would use its speed and ability to go very deep to attack the transports with lots of noise. It would actually try to get destroyers or frigates to follow it. In the meantime, the kilo would slowly and quietly get a solution on the transports firing from concealment and going dark as soon as possible.

This exactly. The Alfa was virtually immune to US antisubmarine tech for 20 years after it came into service, the Soviets likely didn't realise just how much advantage they had, but at close to 50 knots, made of titanium, small and maneuverable with Nuclear power it's ability to get in , shoot, then run away was unmatched. Sub Brief covers this well ,the US Nave knew they could hear the Alfa coming but had nothing in its arsenal that could do anything about it until the mid 80s

I used to be the guy who shoots torpedoes and VLAs (vertical launch ASROC). I didn't have much confidence in their ability to acquire an underwater target until I got multiple hits (in a training environment, of course... not WW3). Turns out they're not too shabby for what they were designed for, as long as I worked up a good firing solution. I dropped multiple VLAs right on target with multiple re-acquires. I think I impressed the guys at the missile range. Ahh.... but I was downsized. I feel like the F22, sometimes.

Cool Senario. The H-2s, H-3s and H-60s often do Helo Inflight Refueling where they lift a hose from the ship and fast refuel if they are needed back on station. So cool to see the trusty little Sea Sprites. HSL-94 was one of the last two H-2 Squadrons and was station not far from Philadelphia.

Not really. The wake homing torpedoes were meant to disable vessels, not sink them. At that point, a passive homing torpedo could finish it off with a hit elsewhere, or be picked off by aircraft or anti-ship missiles as it is sat there motionless. If all the bulkheads in the ship are closed as they were aware the torpedoes were coming, torpedo hits into the rear of the hull probably wouldn't sink the ship. What really needs work is the wake size of these ships!

With that sort of set-up, probably should have fired 2 torps at 2 ships, per sub. That way you would have a total of 4 torps from 1 sub going after 2 ships, with the other sub getting 4 torps on 2 ships as well. This would allow the different ships having to deal with 2 searching subs at the same time, making evading harder to do, as well as possibly getting 2 hits per ship, increasing chances of sinking quickly.

Thanks for the video Cap, and feel better! I hope you had a fun Christmas with GR Baby! An expert may certainly correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe submarine counter-manuevers should generally include an immediate change of depth, speed, and heading after firing (which you did), but as soon as there's the threat of an enemy torpedo, I believe another course change is needed immediately. I believe you need to generally head in the opposite direction of the enemy torpedo to effectively try and outrange it/waste its fuel, and if the torpedo does lock onto your sub, I believe your best defensive is all the speed and maneuvering in the world (regardless of sound) to try and evade the seeker cone. Many of the subs can effectively go faster than many of the torpedoes that hunt them if you disregard cavitatiion.

I also know there are delayed torps, if you had a convoy like this you would drop delay torps after you had a solid estimate of the course and speed and set the timers to activate the torpedoes at the approximate time the convoy was in the area. Very stealthy way to attack and the defenders would have a horrible time counter attacking because the deploying sub could be an hour away by the time they go active. Submarine technology is truely terrifying.

Wow, this video makes me think the Sea Power developers may have actually coded better US damage control into the game to account for better training and professional sailors/merchant seamen. These transport ships operate under the "US Military Sealift Command" at the direction of the US Navy and are crewed by US Navy officers (particularly due to the USN weapon and defensive systems onboard) and Merchant Marine officers, with a general crew trained as Civil Service Mariners (who are non-combatants). These ships are largely within the Sealift Command, and their ship names have a prefix of "USNS" for "United States Naval Ship," verus the standard USS for USN ships. The US operates the United States Merchant Marine Academy, which is similar to the other US military schools (the United States Military Academy, Naval Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and Air Force Academy), providing a top-tier general education/university degree while also producing officers for the United States Merchant Marine service. After graduation, in exchange for their university education, they must serve as Merchant Marine officers for five years and are also US Navy Reservists in case of wartime, where more trained sailors are needed. There's also six maritime academies operated by various state governments. Besides the USN officers and Merchant Marine officers onboard these US transport ships, the general crew is trained as Civil Service Mariners. I feel it's generally accepted that USN sailors (and those from most NATO countries) are trained to a higher quality than their Soviet/Russian counterparts, which includes continuous training and drills to ensure the best damage control possible if they were even under attack or a fire ever broke out onboard. This would be due to larger budgets dedicated to training, a 100% professional voluntary military, more career officers and NCO's leading to a very strong group of NCO's keeping the enlisted in-line and performing well, and finally, there's less overall corruption and hazing as found in Soviet/Russian military units (not to say the US has none, just a whole lot less). The drilling involves every sailor being assigned a specific job/role/location for firefighting efforts, assignments for engineering roles to try and repair systems, training to contain the ingress of water/fire throughout the ship using bulkheads, and repairing/plugging literal leaks in the ship's hull to slow the sinking.

I KNOW several of us over the past month have said MANY times with the wake homing torpedos if you don't get the toroedo basically right behind or more infront of the vessal you are attempting to hit, you will miss. Those you have to be more accurate since they don't ping the ship itself. Another thing as Fly said, the closer the ships, the more confused the torpedo gets because of all the wakes everone is making. Not surprised you messed this up yet again. You're also trying to do these videos to fast and not taking the time to make sure everything goes smoothly. Even if for 1 ship you take 2 hours to move into proper spot while also avoiding the enemy, so be it. Slow down, think, and take your time. I REALLY want to like these videos again, but the way you are doing everything is making it not possible.

Failsafe feature, since submarines are often using surface traffic to hide themselves behind it makes sense to have the dedicated ASW torpedoes ignore surface contacts when they are hunting submarines, making it easier to fish out any stalking submarine because the hunter is not afraid of friendly fire or collateral damage.: "Sir, I think that there may be a submarine hiding near that tanker over there." "Fire an ASW torpedo and keep monitoring for changes. If you hear a noisemaker send the helicopters with orders to drop sonar buoys and more ASW torpedoes until you hear an implosion."
