Germany and Iran have their own supercavitating torpedo models, too.

Supersonic Submarine Could Send People Across Pacific In 100 Minutes

Super cavitation is the use of cavitation effect to create a bubble of steam inside a liquid.

Ordinary bullets don't have this supercavitating effect, which means they move much more slowly through water.

By definition, a supercavitating object must create a gas bubble to surround the object moving through water.

Once in the water, the team’s supercavitation vessel would constantly “shower” a special liquid membrane on its own surface.

By combining liquid-membrane technology with supercavitation, we can significantly reduce the launch challenges and make cruising control easier.

While cruising at high speed during supercavitation, a fin could be snapped off if it touched the water because of the liquid's far greater density.
