Default S-65 sinks HMS Warspite, Jan. 1941

I know this isn't exactly a photo thread but...




WO: "HMS Rodney and HMS Warspite sighted - initiate torpedo run!"





Torpedo impact! Torpedo impact! -- HMS Warspite sunk by S-65 for 36,000+ GRT. Lt. z. S. Bödke awarded Knights Cross, 2nd Class. Promoted to Oberleutnant.


Lucky shot? Absolutely! Dejavu HMS Hood, anyone? I must have hit a magazine store...chilling. See Mikhayl's recent post to this thread for recommended tactical SOP re: torpedo attacks.
