Don't know if this has been passed along before, but check out this video

It's a bit modern day but shows how powerful a torpedo can be.

This one is WW2 footage.

Watch the torpedoed HMS Barham sink.

While these are indeed great videos (although the Barham one is quite common on these forums :doh:), it appears they are in the wrong section. The General Topics section might be a more appropriate place.:hmm:

This is why I couldn't be a military sailor that works below decks.:o

That torp hit was scary to watch.. it is amazing how it makes that destroyer look like a toy... amazing power (bit better than the WW2 torps eh? hehe).

And the depth charge.... holy crap, all I could think is thank god the ships pinging me dont have those!

Controlled demolition of old explosives folks, not a deployed DC....:know:

[ABBAFAN]

That was a frigate not a destroyer,hardly giant and at one point the narrator refers to it as a battleship!:nope: :nope:

that vid is at the intro part of sub command too.

And a photo of it was used as "proof" by Hezbollah that they had sunk an Israeli ship in last years Israel-Lebanon conflict. :roll:
