Tanks a fleet of submarines

A hundred miles away, the fleet of submarines fired a battery of torpedoes at the oncoming monster.  The torpedoes were not intended to kill, but to drive Godzilla to the surface for the real attack--for even as the torpedoes were being fired deep beneath the blue waters of the Pacific, a squadron of F-14 Tomcats launched from the Nimitz circled in the sky like birds of prey.

For what seemed like an eternity after the command to fire was given, nothing happened.  The sea below the choppers remained calm.
Then, suddenly, the helos’ ASW sonar picked up the sound of torpedoes detonating underwater.  Almost immediately, great spouts of water shot into the sky as the torpedoes struck.

More geysers shot into the air.  One explosion was so close it rocked SEACAP ONE and sprayed seawater all over the windshield.  “That was close,” Michaelson noted calmly.
Another line of blasts tore up the otherwise tranquil waters.  Finally, the torpedoes were spent, and the ocean grew calm once again.  Ensign Delaney turned to her sonarman.
