So now that the USA Navy is deploying underwater F/A-18 Super Hornet Battle Combat Ace Knight Super-D/X Series Mega Jets, how should we expect the situation in the Red Sea / Yemen conflict to develop? I understand that this is a situational deployment and usually planes like air, but obviously this is strategic. With the enemy deploying tactics like visiting their girlfriends at civilian apartments where they live, can we expect a water-to-civilian-land combat solution on the horizon?

edit* I am specifically requesting a War Thunder leak thanks

    I see a lot of people are missing the big picture of this new weapon system, so let me explain it. My brother works for a large defense contractor that shall remain nameless, but rhymes with “paytheon”. Yes, the US Navy has plenty of underwater attack systems, we invented submarines more than 150 years ago. But F-18’s underwater attack capabilities? Why is God’s name would you need that?

    Well, this new system can use a classified weapon that some people call a “shredder”. It is actually the RAZERTAM (Rapid Attack Zero Emission Terrorist Attack Munition). It had its first test back in 2012 near Hawaii. The test didn’t go well and at least one Arleigh Burke destroyer was sunk, a softball game was attacked and many people were killed. The entire event was covered up, and blamed on a “typhoon”. The munitions use a fusion core generator to spin steel cutting blades behind a static energy field. There is no known way to stop them. The real breakthrough recently was the AI software provided by Elon Musk and Steven Miller ( who are high level government officials). The system is able to identify terrorists and attack them, based entirely on visual recognition. Some people opposed this and called it racist, but it is actually protecting America and neither of these guys have a racist bone in their body.

    The F/A-18 Super Water Hornet is the perfect platform to deliver the Razertam munitions. It can submerge and “hop” to individual points in the water. This avoids anything getting a lock on them, so they can close in on terrorist housing centers, fuel stations and so-called schools that are actually terrorist youth training centers. I don’t think even a battleship can stop these things from completing their mission to cleanse the earth of terrorists.

    I have included a classified photo of the test munition attacking the John Paul Jones US Navy Destroyer.

        Well, you have to add the phrase “for warfare” or “armed” to most US inventions. We don’t see the utility in things, unless they can be made lethal. In context, I meant combat Submarines, as in the CSS Hunley from the American civil war. But you are correct that it was a dutch guy who built the first submarine.

        The first “real submarine” (I’m considering a “real sub” to be able to operate self sufficiently) was actually made by an American. David Bushnell in 1776. And the first submarine to directly sink another war ship was also built by cowards Americans (Confederate) during the US Civil War.
