A small gun boat has a high powered hose that sprays water into a spoon shaped metal plate above it. The water is then deflected outward in a sphere around the ship. The wall of rushing water then bats incoming bullets and missiles into the sea around it.

       Did you ever see 'Myth Busters'?   

       Surprisingly, a low powered handgun could fire through about 7ft of water. But higher velocities simply turned the projectile into shrapnel after a couple of feet.

       What about the reduced visibility?

       And what about the torpedoes?

       I've often passed a spoon under the tap or seen a similiar effect in public fountains, and wondered the possibilities of manipulating water in this way, but if a wall of water could stop a torpedo, wouldn't it also give enough resistance to detonate the warhead?

       Damn the torpedoes.
