a bit related - typically the outer layer of the underwater part of the hull of large navy ships consists of a gun silencer/car muffler style structures several meters wide to dampen the direct hit explosion of a torpedo or similar scale munition.

- jabl 5y agoIs this true for modern warships? WWII era capital ships had torpedo blisters to protect against hits, but AFAIK modern torpedoes don't work by blowing a hole in the side of the hull, but rather detonate under the keel. And the huge gas bubble formed by the detonation breaks the keel.
