What was the problem of steam driven torpedoes in World War 2 submarine warfare?
ChuckSiata
Steam powered submarine torpedoes had a flaw when a submarine fired torpedoes in daylight. The torpedoes created a massive stream of bubbles that rose to the surface of the ocean and enemy ships could see that they were under attack. The bubble stream also gave away a submarine's position. This problem was solved for the Germans when they developed electric torpedoes. No bubbles were produced. The US Navy captured some of the enemy torpedoes and used them for models of their own new electric torpedoes.

What is the difference between torpedoes in World War 1 and torpedoes now?
nothing. Not true. WW1 torpedoes were designed to run in a straight line and explode on impact and little else. By WW2 they had better explosive and some even had guidance systems that would permit them to search for a target if the did not hit the one they were fired at. Also several different types were developed with different kinds of propulsion including electric. While electric torpedo were not as fast as the earlier steam driven ones they did not leave a trail of bubbles leading right back to the launching Submarine. Modern torpedoes are self guided , computer controlled and therefore incredibly versatile and accurate. The have on board sonar systems enabling them to find a target by simply hearing the sounds that it makes or actively seeking it with sound. this is in addition to the Wire guidance system that can be used to manually control and steer the torpedo from the launching Submarine. There are also many variant's that are aircraft launched or launched from surface ships.
Difference between data driven and goal driven?
Data-driven reasoning takes the facts of the problem and applies the rules or legal moves to produce new facts that lead to a goal. Goal-driven reasoning focus on the goal,finds the rules that could produce the goal,and chains backward through successive rules and subgoals to the given facts of the problem.

How do you reset the abs light in a 97 buick?

Why would a 2001 LS be making a rattling noise in the left frnt end when driven through rough roads?
I have a 2001 I had the same problem when driven through rough roads and railroad tracks, I replaced the front struts and that solved the problem. I have a 2000 that rattles too. Looking for the answer.
What is the difference between data driven and goal driven?
Goal driven reasoning or backward chaining - an inference technique which uses IF THEN rules to repetitively break a goal into smaller sub-goals which are easier to prove. Data driven reasoning or forward chaining - an inference technique which uses IF THEN rules to deduce a problem solution from initial data.

BMW e46 can be driven engine light is on?
If you are asking can it be driven with the engine light on the answer is maybe if you are referring to the Check Engine light. But, saying that, you should have this looked into by a professional. The Check Engine light is on because the ECU has detected a problem with the emissions system. It may be something that will destroy the catalytic converter which is very expensive to replace. It may also be a minor problem. You will not know until the code is retrieved from the ECU and the problem is diagnosed.
