I found this clip of a torpedo hitting a ship. Didn't know where to put it so forgive me if this is the wrong place to post.

I thought it must be fun watching a real torpedo "attack" for once.

And this is the end of H.M.S. Barham:

I suppose most on here have seen this newsreel, which was only made public after the end of the war: 862 men went down with her in less than three minutes.

That explosion must have killed most of the men.

Two-thirds of the crew, 841 men, lost their lives; but probably not from the explosion. Those who died were either killed by the torpedoes or trapped below decks. The survivors had already abandoned ship when the explosion - probably resulting from cold water entering the boilers - took place.

Also, that first clip is at least four years old, as that's the first time it, or one like it, was posted here. And it's a modern torpedo going off well under the keel of a lightweight modern frigate. There are plenty of clips from the Second World War showing torpedoes hitting ships, and they look nothing like that.
