You sure about that?
n/m I just looked it up. Did you know that WW2 technology torped was a dud! Of the 3 torpedos fired by HMS Conqueror all 3 hit (which shows an amazing fire control plot & solution ) but 1 did not explode!
It only took one though.
It actually took 2 beacuse the first hit in the bow and tore it off but did not effect the watertight integrity of the ship or light the fwrd powder locker.

I\'m having trouble with the radar, sir.
What\'s wrong with it?
I\'ve lost the bleeps, I\'ve lost the sweeps, and I\'ve lost the creeps.
