What Second World War technology would be worth resurrecting for another fifty years?
Short answerMost technology is obsolete, but modernized heavy torpedoes could still offer a powerful long-range anti-submarine option.
NotesHeavy Second World War torpedo designs could be reconsidered with modern engines and sonar for long-range anti-submarine use. That would require substantial modernization of the old weapons. The attraction is the ability to inflict enough damage with a small number of hits. Armour belts receive a brief favourable mention, but most wartime technology has moved on.
