warfare is increasingly littoral
Historically, torpedoes have been weapons of blue-water (open sea) naval conflict, but the future of warfare is increasingly littoral. Rivers, estuaries, and coastal zones, are becoming more contested due to urbanization, resource competition, and regional disputes. Supercavitation technology, when miniaturized or adapted, could prove revolutionary in these environments. In shallow or narrow waters—like the South China Sea, the Amazon River Basin, or the Danube—where manoeuvrability and quick reaction times are essential, supercavitating torpedoes would be the key to domination. สล็อต
