Interesting Strategy Page article on littoral use of standoff torpedoes.

  Here is an interesting thesis on a first order passive approximation aid for localization and effectiveness—getting the standoff torpedo where you think the submarine is going.

  Of course, as the Strategy Page article implies there is no reason why a ship platform is required to detect, characterize, and localize the submarine—other network centric sonar (passive or active) or laser based platforms (nodes) will do just fine.
