Submarines
Established reports and manufacturer's claims indicate that a handful of submarines are capable of speeds exceeding Script error: No such module "convert".. In 1960, HMS Explorer S30 achieved an underwater speed of over 30 knots.[1] In 1965, the experimental Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". reported a speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] The Soviet Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". was found in 1968 to have a speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[3] In response the United States Navy developed the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., with a reported speed of Script error: No such module "convert".. The Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". (Russian: shark)-class vessel is reportedly capable of travelling submerged at Script error: No such module "convert".. Its predecessor, the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., could attain short speed bursts of Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged.[4][5] There are also claims that the Soviet twin-propeller submarine K-222, with titanium inner and outer hulls, reached Script error: No such module "convert"., fully submerged, during sea trials in 1969.
Torpedoes
The British Spearfish torpedo, designed to counter high-speed Russian submarines such as the Alfa class, is reputed to reach speeds in excess of Script error: No such module "convert".. The Russian VA-111 Shkval rocket-powered supercavitating torpedo is reportedly capable of speeds over Script error: No such module "convert"..[6] The German press reported on an underwater anti-torpedo missile, formerly named Barracuda, allegedly capable of reaching Script error: No such module "convert"..[7]
