Wouldn't the pressure wave from a underwater burst make the submarine hull collapse, given the lake has limited depth to disperse the energy of the blast, when compared to open oceans.
- Retric 4y agoNot something I know that much about, though nuclear depth charges where apparently replaced with torpedoes because they aren’t that great a weapon. Best case 500 ft vs 12,000 feet means the blast might have a range roughly square root of 24 or 5x as far. But a more variable topology might work like the walls of an anechoic chamber and disparate the blast much faster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber#/media/File:Consumer_Reports_-_product_testing_-_headphones_in_anechoic_chamber.tif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber#/media/File:C...
