You'd be surprised how hardened submarines and warships really are. I think people sometimes imagine that it's like a nuclear weapon goes off and every sub immediately drops to the bottom, but it's not that way. Subs, in particular, are quite tough, actually. |
Well, of course it's relative... I made a point in another thread about how funny it looks in the old movies to see a several hundred pound depth charge go off within contact of the submarine hull in the special effects and the crew inside the submarine merely shakes about somewhat and carries on... as opposed to the whole submarine hull being split in twain. :p
