Emotional support fish is actually the commander, Lt. Gills
I was envisioning dolphins trained in tank warfare. The First Armored Cetacean Division.
they should do this but with submarines
Water transmits sound much better than air, so the shockwave from any explosion (possibly including the tank’s own gun) would rupture the eardrums of everyone inside.
They travel further, but higher frequencies slow down due to the medium.
It’d probably muffle some of the more damaging high frequency sound waves but there’d be some shockwaves of lower frequencies involved which might do something else to you
No, the speed of sound through water is essentially independent of frequency. Sound is a compression wave.
You’re thinking of transverse, or surface waves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95sQcSulRFM
Given the high amplitude and nearness to the gun I’d guess nonlinear propagation would play a big part so that’s interesting. IDK if that makes for a more intense shock front.
If you put enough life plants and filter media in, it becomes a miniature ecosystem and you can poop in there
I mean a modernized Abrams already weighs 80 something tonnes so how much worse could this really be.
