    I think a limpet mine is a far more likely explanation, why risk such a heavily classified piece of technology falling into enemy hands?

      To prevent the literal unpredictable madman neighbour with a mortal vendetta against you from getting a nuclear reactor.

      Also, Russia already has super cavitating torpedoes, and there’s not necessarily that much to learn from their pieces after impact.

      Not saying a limpet mine isn’t likely, but this also feels like exactly why SK is developing those torpedoes.
