Why would a super-torp be more effective against carriers than against other surface vessels? It wouldn't. Yet long carriers are more effective in the sub-killing role than harrier carriers. Long carriers are most likely the most effective surface vessel in sub-killing because the planes it launches cover so much area so quickly. This would be true if large deck carriers had fixed wing ASW assets. But they don't (or soon won't). The first time a Big Grey Boat gets "tagged" by a sub there will some very interesting discussions in the Halls of Power. Bill Kambic Veteran: VS-27, VS-30, VS-73/VP-93
