	World Affairs Board - The Shkval: awesome new torpedo
		Upon launch of the Mark 48 a retaliatory VA-111 Shkval is fired down the trajectory of the incoming torpedo, straight at the Los Angeles class, forcing it to maneuver and thus cut the guidance wire to its own fish!
		The Shkval may be considered a follow-on to the Russian BGT class of evasion torpedoes, which are fired in the direction of an incoming torpedo to try to force an attacking to evade (and hopefully snap the torpedo's guidance wires).
		The solid-rocket propelled "torpedo" achieves high speeds by producing a high-pressure stream of bubbles from its nose and skin, which coats the torpedo in a thin layer of gas and forms a local "envelope" of supercavitating bubbles.

		Launched in 1974 and commissioned in 1976, she was larger and (at 30+ knots) significantly faster than the previous Thresher/Permits and Sturgeons, enabling her to take on a new generation of fast Soviet submarines (the "Victor" class) and to provide direct support for aircraft carriers.
		She also included new sonar, fire-control, and weapon systems, including the Mark 48 torpedo, the Harpoon anti-ship cruise missile, and the Tomahawk antiship missile (TASM) and land-attack missile (TLAM), all of which were launched through the torpedo tubes.
		The ability to fire TLAMs changed the basic nature of the attack submarine from an antiship/antisubmarine platform to a multipurpose land-attack platform as well.
