TDZ - Moving Target

Things get a bit more interesting when the target is moving because the TDZ gets shifted along the target’s line of motion.

At a chosen speed setting, a torpedo has a finite amount of run time before it exhausts its fuel. Let’s assume we are shooting a hypothetical torpedo with a speed of 60 knots (!) and a range of 6,000 yards. This torpedo has a maximum run time of 3 minutes. In addition, let’s assume our target is travelling at a speed of 25 knots.

If the torpedo is fired from dead astern of the target, the torpedo obviously has to catch up to the target. At a range where the torpedo must use its maximum run time (here 3 minutes), the range to target at the time of firing will be considerably less than the maximum distance the torpedo can travel. During the 3 minute run time, the target will travel 2,500 yards and the torpedo will travel 6,000 yards. This means the maximum range we can fire from astern and still hit the target is 3,500 yards astern of the target.
