Based on my knowledge of submarines from playing Silent Steel, submarines identify torpedoes based on "noise signature" and not appearance. |

Picturing the penguins from the animated film Madagascar. |

I don't think penguins quack. It would be funny to fix small microphones to dolphins, tuna, and penguins that produce the same sound signature of a missile of the same size. |

Efforts to conceal torpedos are nothing new. as rcarty pointed out, they are identified by noise signature, which I guess could be disguised with false noise, but also by wake signature. It's not going to take a submarine captain long to figure out that that huge jet stream behind a manatee is more than just a bowel movement. Also, modern torpedos are huge, and changing the shape to further disguise them means having to improvise completely new guidance systems and having to completely change the shape of the launch tubes. It's not cost-effective. |
