What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?


Not sure. For home listening I would go with Studer A820 deck, Gryphon Mephisto monoblocks and Gryphon Kodo speakers. But there might me other options. Still, an almost impossible task, I guess.

That would be a bummer, or a boooomer. I think that torpedoes these days are not supposed to hit the ship directly. As always, I may be wrong, and probably am.
As someone who served in submarines in the US Navy, I find this thread offensive on many levels.  I shall comment no more
Maybe Grateful Dead's wall of sound. Kendrick's big horned monsters about the size of my house.
In my smallish room my system has made me jump straight out of my chair. The scene from the first Avengers movie where they started the engines of the flying aircraft carrier comes to mind
