Using Russian engagements as an example, he devises a net based system that will help disarm the threat of a torpedo. This example is helpful for understanding the urgings of other authors, particularly those mentioned in previous rifle articles, who advised the government to not listen to the sort of argument this particular author is making as they were impeding development of vital technologies.
