Torpedo in the Channel
 

Training fish that got away, huh? :06:

Does look that way. :yep:

1955? I knew somebody forgot to tell Prien that the war was over!

Maybe this will be the start for a new classical music genre: the sub opera. The title could be "The diving Dutchman". :D

And here I thought we were too classy to use innuendo in thread titles :DL

:hmmm:

You know, it must have been about midnight when I made this thread...goes to show how awake I am that I never even noticed the innuendo, or perhaps my mind is a little less dirty than some? :03:

(not likely)

Immediately thought it was a German torpedo - then I realized that any German would fired a torpedo in the English Channel would be dead within hours. :dead:

XD Got to love accidential innuendos

Mk 9 huh? That's a surface ship torpedo that was designed in the 1930s. Sort of interesting...

As the MOD say's "If it worked in 1930's, why replace it?":haha:

I'm wondering if it would also have a serial number on it which would identify which vessel it was issued to?

I shouldn't imagine they'd want to publish that sort of information for fear of causing embarrassment to the senior service.

Lol, nice found.

Its on subsim World Naval News now (mainpage). If you guys have news like this, would u mind to send a pm or some?

Ayee
