However, the escort ship assigned to block the attack is certainly in dire straits.
Wake-guided torpedoes can only be used against surface warships, so they are all heavy torpedoes, with warheads typically weighing over 250 kilograms, and usually loaded with powerful mixed explosives, which are more than twice the power of ordinary explosives, that is, TNT.
Not to mention the escort ships, even a 10,000-ton cruiser cannot withstand a heavy torpedo.
To put it simply, it is precisely because of the immense power that, even after entering the missile era, major naval powers still place high importance on heavy torpedoes.
Theoretically, only 4 to 6 heavy torpedoes of the MK48 class are needed to sink a large carrier.
The 65-type heavy torpedo of the West Continent Group, theoretically only requires 3 to take out a large carrier!
