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 can put money down that only one would've completed the mission to keep that cruiser away from the landing zone though.
