Wanna bet that we've already got a solid recording of a Shkval launch

Don't see what good that would do - these things are so loud there's
probably no mistaking them pnce they've been launched.

I don't think they're homers...there's probably a pre-defined evasion maneuver that
OOD commands the second sonar calls out a launch cue.

I don't see how they could be maneuvering homers - that
super-cavitation probably makes it impossible to get any decent sensor
working. They're probably launched similar to straight running
torpedoes. Even so, what are the range paramters? You've got the
length of the target sub, how fast it can get away, target-sub aspect,
and guesses as to where the torp is aimed/heading - against a torp
that's supposed to cover 5 miles a minute.
