Hydrosubsidium "Orca" Strikesub

Hydrosubsidium "Orca" Strikesub release in 2019, Jane's predicted that ocean-based warfare would be forever changed. In the year that followed, this battlesub rewrote the book on tactical naval warfare.

At over 900 metric tons, the Orca is larger than standard commercial submersibles, but is still much smaller than the monolithic military subs. Its weapons and electronic systems, however, are top of the line. The computer systems, designed by EBM, are the fastest neuroprocessor systems found on a submarine anywhere. This system supports the Advanced Military Construct (AMC), an optimized version (INT 5) of standard PSI software which was written by a Russian EBM team—it's been hyped by EBM as "the tightest, most effective code ever produced". One of the Orca's most interesting features, however, is its weapon control system. Each torpedo is guided independently by the AMC once out of the tube. Targeting algorithms and other safeguards prevent torpedoes from being targeted by the AMC at friendly ships without the Captain's override. The main benefit of the system is that the AMC can give chase to evading subs with the torpedoes. Both sides are using this and similar models in the war.
