A Model for Analyzing a Straight-Running Torpedo Attack on a Nonevading Surface Ship,

Abstract

This Research Contribution presents a methodology and a set of computer programs for analyzing an attack on a nonevading surface ship by submarine(s) firing straight-running torpedoes. The model is compatible with ship vulnerability curves and may be used to compute the probability the target sustains a particular level of damage. (Author)
