              A nuke has different power :
              -the explosion produce a ball of fire that can blind people who look at it and vaporize most living being inside
              -a heatwave, which can cause third degree burns
              -a shockwave, that can be more or less powerful depending on the bomb power, distance, many things.

              now explode your nuke underwater :
              -nobody can see the light, so no damage here
              -it's far colder than in surface, so no damage from the heatwave
              -the shockwave will be less powerful because : the water pressure will act as counterbalance, and water is heavier than air, so it will be more difficult to travel.
              -radioactivity from a nuke is narrow, so the radioactivity will be diluted in the open water.

              it will very much cause enough abnormality to be detected by most navies, expert, and military instruments : congratulation you did frick all with a costly nuke, and now your enemy now you're using atomic weapons.
              just look at historical nuclear test in the pacific, the French and American did plenty of underwater detonation : no Tsunami.

                You need to displace a metric assload of water to make a tsunami, the largest nukes don't even get one thousandth of the way there.

                wow thanks for the explanation I never realized how much power there is behind a tsunami
                It's almost pathetic and kind of humbling if you think of it. Even our most destructive weapons are capable of only a tiny part of the destruction that nature is capable of.

                Yeah, nature can get scary.

                The Russians believe their missiles will get shot down before reaching anywhere near the carrier group.
                Torpedoes, particularly very fast ones, are much more difficult to intercept compared to missiles.

                >torpedoes
                >hard to intercept
                Maneuverability at high speed goes to shit in water faster than in air, due to higher density and drag of the medium.
                Let's not even get into how going really fast underwater requires supercavitation, and supercavitation forces even more draconian constraints on maneuvering.

                A Granit might (at least theoretically) pull some pretty hard turns and maybe evade an interceptor, a Poseidon has literally no hope of dodging a standard torpedo looking for a collision course.

                It's hard to intercept because you can only find it by acoustics. A missile can be found by any radar on a large distance too, while you need to be very close to a sound source like this to hear it. That torpedo is said to move slowly to it's target in silent running mode and do an attack sprint at the last few km because it will be detected by that time.
                Another advantage would be that it can be place on the seabed as a second strike weapon. I think all these challenges can be overcome but at the moment most navies probably don't have a good way to defend themselves to this weapon

                Missiles can hide under the radar horizon by flying low, sea skimming ASMs aren't new tech, but torpedoes cannot evade sonar detection so easily (seabed skimming is usually not an option).
                Also, sonar works better than radar for volumetric scans, so even at low closing speed and with sound absorbing materials the enemy can pick up a torpedo-shaped hole and figure out what hides there.
                Assuming Russia managed to overcome those issues through high tech (lol), the result would be a carrier-killer weapon that takes several hours to reach its target: something only usable in a first strike, and Russia can't afford that.
                >rest on the seabed as a second strike weapon
                Hiding your nukes deep behind enemy lines, I wonder what could possibly go wrong with that?

                The Poseidon does the opposite of a plunge during its attack run. It first dives very deeply (remember that it has a 1 km diving depth, which is really deep), then shoots up almost vertically at max speed.
                Also, what anon here [...] said.

                Going deep doesn't make you less visible on sonar, same way going high doesn't make you less visible on radar: attenuation might help a bit if you were 10 km deep, but 1 km deep is nothing with modern sonar.

                No amount of naturally occurring thermal gradients is going to hide your closing velocity and resulting doppler shift, digital processing has simply improved too much.
                There's a reason the US spent so much time and effort on sonar tech: once you get it good enough, there's no hiding.

                Keep in mind though that this is in part a deliberate choice. America (and specifically a team under that whacky guy Edward Teller) actually looked seriously at a 10 gigaton nuke. Thermonuclear technology can scale very well. That's a lot of energy, even by nature standards. Something like the dinosaur asteroid impact level of energy.

                As a weapon though it was dumb, the goal of war at least for decent countries isn't "frick the entire world forever for lulz" it's to gain some measure of actual victory.

              The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, which caused the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, is estimated to have released energy equivalent to 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs.

            Because, like I said in a previous post, it's an anticarrier weapon. The Russians don't trust their antiship missiles, and current torpedoes aren't that good at intercepting other torpedoes (especially when said torpedo is travelling at almost twice the speed of the would-be interceptor). It's why Northrop-Grumman are developing a dedicated interceptor torpedo (the VLT).
