A computer model has been developed in order to determine an optimal spread angle for a combined Fast Patrol Boat sector attack with torpedoes against one destroyer. The scenario considered consisted of ten Fast Patrol Boats (Type 55/60) of the German Navy with four torpedoes (Mk 8++ and G 7a) on each boat against a conventional destroyer employing guns and changes in course and speed. Using the probabilities of hitting the destroyer as a measure of effectiveness a spread angle of 0.5 degrees between the launched torpedoes is recommended as the optimal strategy. (Author)
