Abstract
A ship or other marine surface vessel to be protected against torpedo or missile attack tows therebehind an articulated train of floating projectile barriers. To defense on attack, the ship circles away from the attacker to a position behind a trailing portion of the floating barrier train. Each floating barrier includes a solid wall, torpedo intercepting keel or hull which is buoyant, horizontally stabilized and supports thereon a missile intercepting fence extending above the surface of the water. Provision is made for drawing projectiles to the floating barriers and for determining the position of the attacker.
