Didnt the russiand play with something like this the SHIVKAL?
Yes, in fact I saw this in a Defense magazine in the early 1990`s and it was meant for sub to sub last ditch suicide attack. It was too light, unguided, a computer cranked in the speed and distance of the target and shot at a point in the water hoping the sub would rendezvous with the missile, and short distance. Supposedly, the missile actually flew in an air pocket created around the body of the thing. Suuurre!
