[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] Of course, the first torpedo shot by Khan was a special effects/technical disaster. As was stated, a torpedo shot at the unshielded hull of the Enterprise whould have done serious damamge which was never seen. As a matter of fact, I don't think they ever showed *any* damage from that shot, (except for all those sparks on the bridge). So Timo could be correct with the idea of a proximity blast. (It should be kept in mind however, that torpedoes were in a relatively low state of technological advancement. According to TNG:TM, they were little more than seperate sections of matter and antimatter thrust together on impact, much like a fission warhead. No big technical components to "increase isoton yield per gram" or whatever. Still though, even a couple of grams would have wreaked havoc. Someone already referenced to ST-IV.) IMO, the reason Kirk thought Sulu could shoot down the incoming photorp was that it was traveling relatively slowly, (i.e., well below light speed), and could be targeted. Apparently not slowly enough though. (and it was Spock that said "too late," not Sulu.) Also, could someone please explain how that nasty black spot got on the portside-aft underside of the primary hull? I remember seeing it in the shot with the Reliant and Enterprise facing off after Khan had made his attack, camera behind the Enterprise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
