kill a Russian or Chinese attack submarine? asking for a friend.

Call me Ishmael, no doubt. They dive to insane depts just looking of giant squid to chew on, why not subs.

>>63941569
I think modern day subs would be a bit of a mouthful.
Maybe if they breached and then landed across one, but I feel like that would break it's own back, too.

Sperm whales aren't made of steel.

w-what are they made of

>"""Sperm""" whale
Whale obviously.

neither are some russian attack subs

I don't doubt a sperm whale could seriously damage a submarine, especially a smaller one, with a full force ram. But it would be suicide. They're made of steel and the whale that sunk the essex stunned itself badly after that ram. When they found the Ann Alexander whale too it was in terrible shape.

If an unusually big sperm whale smashed into the side of a modern sub at full speed it might well cripple or destroy the sub, but it would also probably cripple or kill the whale. Ramming is really damaging at this scale.

Is your friend a Russian or submarine attack submarine captain who is worriedly watching a sonar blip closing in?

what now bitchboy?

That depends on how sufficiently obsessed the captain is.

>>63941502 (OP)
If a 50-ton sperm whale rams the outer hull of a submarine several times in the same place, perhaps at greater depths where the hull is already under pressure, I think it is quite possible that a leak could occur. This could pose a danger to single-hulled boats if they do not close the bulkheads in time. Russian and Chinese nuclear submarines are built with a double-hull design. So I don't believe a sperm whale could cause enough damage to sink a submarine.

It'd be a toss-off.

Up. It'd be a toss-UP.

Cum!

Well monstro is about 10,000 times the mass so probably him.

They definitely can't kill a British one.

>>63941502 (OP)
No but they can foul its propellers if it kills itself in the process. Otherwise the sub is too hard, and the whale too soft.

Are submarines naturally "self-righting"? What if you flip them over upside-down underwater?

I know dolphins and orcas use this trick to fuck with sharks (tonic immobility).

a couple pings and your sperm whale goes into a coma
