(February 5, 2023 at 4:47 pm)Anomalocaris Wrote: recovered torpedos didn’t get hit by a missile and then plunge 60,000 feet into the sea. on the other hand, the envelope of the balloon might float and would be easy to spot from the air.

The balloon-shroud would also slow the descent and perhaps ender the payload more survivable. At any rate, with a solar array 100' across, pieces detectable by sonar or diver in 47' of water will have survived, I bet.
