Report to PANZER High Command.

Supercavitation for torpedoes has been fully developed and tested, and its effects has been very positive. The torpedo has shown speeds of up to 400 knots and is equipped with a very high explosive charge capable of blowing a very big hole in the ship's hull even if it doesn't penetrate for some reason. But due to the fact that it uses a rocket to propel itself, the torpedo will need to be deployed into the water already cavitating, which means it has to be deployed at high speeds, around 250-300 mph, which means it can only be deployed by a fast flying aircraft, and to maintain a high speed underwater, the rocket is always operating at full power, which burns a lot of fuel, which means it has a short range of only around 1.5km.
