Pretty sad way to get some ice cubes for your drinks on a Friday night!

Wouldn't that be a nightmare. Have a special "Nuke" torpedo and in the heat of a massive battle loose all your torps except it. For 6 hours you've played cat and mouse, been chased by a Destroyer that just won't give up, so you load up that last fish and LOS! The explosion leads to a tremendous celebration followed quickly by:

"Oh Crap!!!"

That is the epitome of my luck.

Being blown sky high by your own weapon is never nice!

Abit like that nuclear mortar the US army created. The explosive range of the warhead was greater than the range of the launcher! So the crew and any men fighting nearby had to dig in deep, cover their eyes and pray. If they didn't become irradiated directly then they got it from wind born particles. Nasty....
