Glad to hear that the magnetic warhead did what it was supposed to do. The theory has always been that a well-placed magnetic detonation under the hull would sink anything including a battleship. I believe that today's torpedoes still use the under the hull method, but they use passive and active sonar, instead of magnetism.
