Would they have revised Prien's tonnage score up if it had hit a ship and sunk something?  |
How in the hell can a torpedo "float" ? |
:rotfl:
And most likely the depth chambers stayed intact, even after more than 60 years. Once the warhead rusted or fell off, the rest of the torpedo must have been light enough to float up and away.
