The U.S. Navy’s Quicksink bomb is a cost-effective, air-launched anti-ship weapon that transforms standard GBU-31/B JDAM bombs into precision strike tools capable of sinking Chinese warships 0:35.
Key Takeaways:
• Quicksink uses a modular seeker system combining radar and infrared targeting to detect ships by length, reducing reliance on detailed profiles and cutting unit costs to ~$50,000 after mass production 15:47.
• The weapon leverages existing GBU-31/B JDAMs, enabling rapid, low-cost deployment from fighters and bombers across global bases, unlike the submarine-launched MK-48 torpedo 16:20.
• Despite a 15-mile range limiting stand-off capability, Quicksink can destroy logistics and support vessels, freeing advanced weapons for high-value targets and inflicting strategic economic damage 18:03.
Quicksink offers a scalable, affordable solution to counter China’s growing fleet size and shipbuilding capacity, enhancing U.S. maritime flexibility and strike reach.

Tension gripped the bridge of the Chinese Type 056 corvette. The captain's
heart pounded as he snapped toward the console. Something was wrong. Very wrong. It wasn’t a
missile, it was a torpedo. The operator’s face twisted in horror at the realization.
But it was too late. A deafening explosion ripped through the hull,
splitting the ship in two as steel twisted and fire engulfed the deck. Within moments, the
corvette was gone, dragged to the depths of the South China Sea, its entire crew lost.
The Chinese warship had just fallen victim to a devastating new U.S. weapon - fittingly named
"Quicksink" - and it’s a total game-changer for maritime warfare. How does it work, and
what does it mea…
