U.S. Submarine STRIKE Iran Boat - Then THIS Happened…
Embed
- Published on Apr 14, 2026
- A US Navy Los Angeles-class submarine tracks an Iranian frigate through the Indian Ocean in one of the most intense submarine engagements since the Second World War. This tactical breakdown reconstructs the entire sequence - from the fire control team building a targeting solution against a zigzagging warship, to the split-second decision to surface behind a merchant vessel's radar shadow, to the Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo run that changed modern naval warfare overnight.
We break down the real anti-submarine warfare tactics both sides used: passive sonar tracking, thermocline exploitation, towed array operations, dipping sonar threats from the Iranian SH-3 Sea King helicopter, and the wire-guided torpedo engagement that ended with a frigate on the ocean floor. Every weapon system, every countermeasure, every tactical decision - explained in detail.

That f*** work did when they were coming back from India ...shame on America ...
i heard about this from a reliable source i can confirm its real.
It was an unarmed frigate with a crew of cadets. It was unarmed due to the conditions of the Indian naval parade (armed vessels are not allowed to participate).
Torpedoing an unarmed ship with cadets and abandoning its crew to drown at sea is an act in the style of Karl Dönitz's protégés, who received a 10-year prison sentence at Nuremberg precisely for unrestricted submarine warfare.
According to international humanitarian law (in particular, the Second Geneva Convention of 1949), sailors from a sunken ship who find themselves in the water or in lifeboats are considered hors de combat (hors de combat).
They are entitled to the rights of prisoners of war.
sad about the cadets. A few years from now they could be sinking one of our carriers. I flew H Three’s in an anti-submarine squadron 60 years ago. Nukes are very hard to catch. 😢the only time we did are admiral declared absolute radio silence. We never transited to the destroyer screen from the carrier in a straight line. Near the end of the exercise, the submarine put up a periscope which was cited by one of our aircraft. Our best weapon was the mark one eyeball.
Is there any evidence the ship was trying to avoid anything? Or even running her sonar? Because photo evidence presented showed no or limited wake off the frigate. It appears to be traveling a cruise speed, not evasive.
My youngest son is Fire Control on a Virginia class. This was amazing to listen to ... I finally understand what it is that he does.
That's awesome.
.. and that's not a good thing!
@axwest1 I knew he 'found a solution' (he described it with the scene from The Hunt for Red October), but I didn't understand what that involved ... fascinating stuff.
God bless and protect your son........I love our MILITARY !! My husband was a Vietnam Vet.....God rest his soul......
Your son murders people to protect the Epstein class, and risks his life to do it. You must be very proud.
I was a Electronics Technician 1st Class Submarine qualified and Master Training Specialist on computers, on board the USS Permit SSN594. We developed the final solution before firing the Torpedo.
Thank you men for your service.
You are just like the Aviator movie stars and the Seal Team authors. Stay Silent.
100 guys go in 50 talked couples come out
Thank you for your service
man your old - I know (on 605)
@toddmiller243 Honestly, with everyone beign into threesomes and foursome and whoregies these days, the math gets way too complex...
A good friend of mine was a sonar operator on a 688 class US submarine stationed at Pearl Harbor Hawaii, he said of Uncle Sam‘s underwater yacht club there were only two things- submarines and targets, and talked about “making holes in the ocean“ practicing target identification and acquisition and waiting for the right moment - Iran was in no position to challenge this kind of hardware and capabilities
DavidMartinez-s4u8t I will ask him, his tour ended around 1988
And indeed, from the evidence, they didn't challenge the Americans. It seems the first thing they knew about a submarine on their trip home was a torpedo signature 15 seconds before impact. This story seems to have been dressed for the home audience.
So if the Dina had a tail plus a competent helo driver maybe this would have been a challenge...as it stands it was not. Banging away with active is shining a flashlight in a dark room unless you're ready to shoot and need the no kidding range confirmation. This ship was dead the njnute it left port. The CO was an idiot.
I got the story right BUT I got the boat class wrong, he was stationed first on the 608 class attack sub SSN-611 USS John Marshall then on the 637 class fast attack sub SSN-660 USS Pollack - if he had stayed in he would have transitioned to a 688 class fast attack sub - it explains him saying there are two types of boats "submarines and targets" -- mea culpa
Thought we took out their navy. Their Air Force. And then after we claimed this there’s an Iran ship we didn’t count ??
MK 48 SGM with a zero failure rate.
MK 48 ADCAP
my youngest is a ship cook, I am so proud of what he does! he makes the best eggs benedick
The true heroes of the military.
❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤ 👍 👌 👍 I wish my son had enlisted. Oh well, can't have them all.
Sounds good to me.
On a boat, every job matters...worked offshore in the Gulf of America and the food was the best...Ribeye, Lobster even breaded fried frog legs, unfortunately, you can't eat that much due to the sea sickness.
Benedict, or dick?
17 minutes that should have been 7. cheers
U aren't kidding.
Virginia Class does not have this problem. Replace all Los Angeles class boats with Virginia Class.
@KlaatuBradaNikto - What problem? Making the video too long?
Many of "Beyond Military's" videos are this length (17 +/- 2 minutes). What you (@morganclare4704) say is right on.
Too much talk😂
Great vid but way too many words and adjectives along the way.
I used to serve in the U.S. Navy years ago, and people really underestimate how quiet and lethal our submarines are. A Los Angeles-class submarine can stay submerged for months, powered by a nuclear reactor and equipped with Mark 48 ADCAP torpedoes capable of running over fifty knots. When a U.S. attack submarine gets within firing range, the engagement is often decided before the surface ship even realizes it is being tracked.
Sir, thank you for your service 🙌🏾👊🏾🙌🏾👊🏾
So AWESOME
@terryblair3375❤
Thank you for your service
Endurance depends on how much food is crammed into sub.
With submarines having hardly anything that can be called as extra space, food for longer than normal patrol would take room from other things like hallways.
@tuunaes Facts.
SSN-706 & SSN-700.
A silent hunter beneath the ocean tracking every move… moments like this show how intense modern naval warfare really is.
He tried to hide behind a box. Drone said, “Nice try.”
The scary thing about submarines is that if they’re doing their job right, you never know they were there.
At least until something blows up, or a Tomahawk flies up out of the water.
And by then, the sub is already leaving, gone, or perhaps still lurking around to see what happens.
I was told that sub fire control personnel slap the hands of officers who feel the need to play with the wire guide controls. The MK 48 does just fine without dicking with the wire guide.
Former 688 Sonar Tech here. This is 80% assumption. There’s NO WAY to have the operational knowledge of the sub that this vid claims to have. NO WAY!
Yea, obviously! He talks about an L.A. class then shows b-roll of SSBN and animations of Virginia class boats. It's hilarious how much he thinks he knows lol!
Correct. A lot of it is speculation. A 15 degree zig doesn't destroy your fire control solution. It would be a rehash on the next leg and Firing Point Procedures. 688 Sonar Tech also.
Simply incredible.
Beyond Military channel is the best I have seen!
Thanks for all the hard work guys!
Fast forward to 15:30 to bypass all of the junk. I have never heard someone say so much without saying a damn thing.
thanks fam
One problem. You said the torpedo didn’t create cavitation when it clearly did.
That is probably true, but I have no idea how subs work, nor anti-sub operations...
It might have been wordy, for drama's sake, but if this is how it played out, it is interesting to me.
DavidMartinez-s4u8t I don't doubt that, but I'm not sure what it has to do with my comment.
I just found the talk about underwater stuff interesting since I know very little about it.
Aren't there new toroidal props that almost eliminate cavitation?
I don't imagine that they've been fitted to torpedoes, it's just an aside...
@chrislong3938 We can neither confirm nor deny.
While the torpedo ran you said the sub was at 400 feet, but when the detonation occurred there was periscope footage.
Damn, that's a tall periscope!
The military should hire you ,, you have very detailed information about every navigating vessel ,,, 😱😱😱
The US Sub was on a regular AUKUS Exercise ,the Sub just happened to run into the Iran Ship.
Zig zagging does nothing to avert an active sonar on a MK-48 torpedo, it will acquire the target if it is sent near a target, wire guidance can manually compensate for big heading changes. What submarine did you serve on ? NONE I would hazard a guess !
The US Navy doesn't release detailed descriptions of battle tactics during war.
@douglasengle2704this wasnt war this was destoing unarmed ship.Chek where it was and what he was doing.Ship was returning from international exsersize without any arms.
@dejantoroman6472 1) The Iranian regime has not given a damn whether tourists, concert-goers and shoppers were armed when they've supported Hezbolla, Houtis, ISIS, Hamas and the massacre of "non-believers" around the world.
2) I don't recall an instance of where a combatant has inquired of an enemy whether or not they have the ammunition for a "fair" fight...
The Iranian captain made the decision to go to sea unarmed. That's on HIM.
@dejantoroman6472 😂😂😂. I see, the Iranian captain said, we're not in war with US. We go vacation, this time to bikini Bottom.
@dejantoroman6472there mission was to make their ship an artificial reef
“3500lbs of guided whoopass” lol
17:00 this was a 17 1/2 long video that’s literally just a over abbreviation of saying “get shit on” and I love it!
I have never heard someone drag out and epic military action so long it took 14 min alone for the torpedo to go 4 miles
I felt like I was listening to a high school senior give a 5 min presentation stretched to 17 mins.
Everybody’s a bloviating tough guy on RUclips. I’m surprised he didn’t claim to be a SEAL who shot himself out of the torpedo tube and sunk the Iranian ship with his K-Bar knife. 🫤
Like everything else on RUclips. I find myself thinking "Get to the point" as I do when listening to my wife. But I can't skip ahead with her.
@Alcoholic_Infantryman that’s a really funny comment. It made me laugh ha ha
Love these videos... tgank you! Keep em coming
Salute to the Navy - Git 'er dun!
They also use the ship pinging to get distance
Naval confrontations like this show how tense and strategic modern military operations can be beneath the ocean’s surface. Submarines operate quietly and are designed to remain undetected, which makes them some of the most powerful and mysterious assets in any navy. When situations escalate at sea, even a small encounter can quickly turn into a major geopolitical event. Videos like this really highlight how complex and high-stakes naval operations can be in today’s world.
My uncle has been on subs all his life he moved to Australia in the 90's and he said during training exercises that USA and his crew were 50/50, the nato were easy to find but royal navy were impossible to find even though they were giving them clues to where they were.
Congrats!
You stretched what should have been a thirty second video into 17:37.
Ok time to watch The Hunt For Red October for the zillionth time!!!
“One Ping only”
@pauldegregorio6432 YES!!!
Honestly, the most accurate submarining movie ever made was probably "Down Periscope"...
@S.E.Solutions-Engineering I'll watch it now. Thanks for the info. I had forgot about this one. Or did you mean Up Periscope?
@BumbleBB The one with Kelsey Grammar & Rip Torn, also Harland Williams & Rob Schneider.
This ain't war, this is drone dodgeball with consequences.
People underestimate how much of this is patience and positioning, not just technology or firepower.
If the sub was at depth when the ship was sunk, how did it get the periscope footage?
It's because this is a "story". Should have the disclaimer: "Some details may be true".
lol I love how the video immediately speaks about the iranian ship in past tense.
The sub was 400 feet below the thermocline but they were getting periscope footage ???
It was a long periscope..... ROFL
I was on the edge of my seat! Awesome!!
Video was waay to long to tell us the Iranian ship was sunk.
Mickey Spillane has to create/build up the story to pull us to the edge of our seats 😅
Khamenei: We will sink your ship to the bottom of the ocea-
US: UNO REVERSE
Salute to the Navy!
Whoa that was intense!😮
The ship did a crazy Ivan
If the sub was 400 ft below, who took the periscope pictures?
Submariners broke an 80 year dry spell, must've felt amazing
Kill kill kill must be a fantastic feeling against a 3rd world ship all alone with no support and zero strategic advantage.
@mb-3faze yeah, totally allowing the enemy to have an advantage is how everyone fights. Grow up, child.
@mb-3faze especially against a ship that has been reported to be unarmed.
Fish away!
Reported by whom....Iran 😂😂😂
This sounds like a OPSEC violation. I'd like to know where this info came from.
There was nothing disclosed that was classified. The attack info was released 6 hrs after the sinking. OSCS(SW) USN RET'D 1978-2002
So kick ass ! Job well done 👍 salute, respect, prayers , & thanks to our service people !
Go US Submarine Navy!
That US Navy Submarine committed a WAR CRIME in Internation Waters and blew up an UNARMED vessel in PEACETIME and then left the survivors to drown. hu rah!
No WAR, no declaration of war, that makes it MURDER.
Now, we are same as Nazi Germany and Russia.
@tjones261 Are you stupid?
@tjones261 War crime is your narratives. Don't care. Ira. Is committed oppression which is real crime.
Abd how you know all these tactical details ,, well if there is no way to chick what happen ,,, u can say whatever you like
There were actually two Mark-48 torpedoes fired at the Dena. One of them missed. But as long as the Dena rests at the bottom of the sea, all is well.
Show us the IRIS Dena instead of a US ship.
Actually, the submarine sonar does indicate rough distance at short ranges, and likely distances at other ranges. It is a matter of signal strength plus changing aspect with movement, and it takes a skilled operator to make proper sense of it.
This visual aid, revealing instructional materials that will help American citizens understand and develop trust and confidence in the military system of the United States 🇺🇸.
1982 the General Belgrano was torpedoed by a British submarine. The first ship torpedoed since WW2
Iran' frigate becomes submarine 😂😂😂
As a sub vet (ssbn654) "Find 'em, Chase 'em, Sink 'em"
Fast forward to 16:27
Super Heated Gas ⛽⛽⛽
Where did the Periscope footage come from if the sub was 400 feet below the thermolcline? Part of the story has been omitted.
What the heck was India doing playing with rogue state Iran’s navy in joint exercises.
It was a joint exercise with 70 countries, including the US. Research it. You could ask the same question of the US.
Establishing that they/India cannot be trusted by Americans & other Christian countries.
@Preston-y1k1w Whaaaat?! What does Christianity have to do with this? And you know the US participated in those exercises, right?
@Preston-y1k1w Do some research. Iran was part of a joint exercise with 70 countries including the US. It was not just India working with Iran. Also, America s not a Christian country. Read your constitution. First Amendment to the United States Constitution
Prohibits Congress from establishing an official religion and protects free exercise of religion. That means all religions.
@Preston-y1k1w India is historically a neutral country. They were leading a joint exercise of 70 countries. They did not approve this war. Their main antagonists are Pakistan and China. They are primarily a Hindu country more than we are a Christian country. What are you talking about.
I used to watch McHales Navy when I was a kid.
This is definitely not how it went
Always so suspenseful and exciting to hear the details of how we shot a duck in a pond that was returning home from a training mission. I'm sure all of their friends and family will enjoy this video.
Iran challenging a U.S. Navy submarine was a big mistake. The U.S. Navy is on another level when it comes to naval power and technology.🥰🥰🥰🥰
The US navy sunk an unarmed ship returning from an exercise, which the US Navy was participating in and you think this is a victory. The participation in this exercise dictated that the ships should be unarmed... Then when you sink it, bugger off and fail to help sailers in the water...
@johncorson2915 You circle back and blow the lifeboats out of the water!
@johncorson2915the ship was an armed enemy naval vessel and is now at the bottom of the ocean😉. How many navys run around with no munitions on board, none thats how many but you keep gobbling up iranian propoganda
Really wasn’t much of a challenge or so it would seem
@johncorson2915payback for the 83, marine barracks bombing!!! And countless others! the U.S. does not take prisoners.
...I thought this was an advertising video. The story was short. 😅😂 the explanation was far too 😂 long. I nearly asked for a discount 😅
HILARIOUS representation - who needs facts 👍
Great video!
Strange that you say the Iranian had spent 2 weeks in a training exercise with the Indiana Navy. 19 countries were involved, INCLUDING the United States. Worth mentioning, don't you think?
74 countries, 8 marching bands including (edit: the band members who) went down with the Dena.
@jackm3040 1. I can't lie if I don't know the answer. Sounds like you've seen one more video than I have. Ref to said vid? 2. For it to be war, wouldn't the US have to declare war?
True, and also with a unknown submarine waiting for the exercise to end and see what the frigate would do. The frigate headed back towards the conflict while the Iranian oil tanker decided to turn itself over to the Sri Lankan government. Smart.
Your channel has the best commentary/videos!
annoying voice over with way too many details
I served on U.S. submarines back in the 1960’s and even way back then we could range a target through what is called “bottom bounce.”
I love reading all the comments from the military experts in the comment section. Thanks guys, you must have very direct lines to know all this stuff..
The largest vessel I ever captained was my twelve foot fibreglass canoe I named,
"Cirrhosis Of The River".
@PeanutButter-19lol
@PeanutButter-19
✨👊🤣👍✨
Watching this really shows the importance of discipline and unity🫡
Maybe stop challenging America!? Just a thought lol
Challenge? Iran is forced to defend themself, it was U.S that started this shit
China....l dare you to fk with us!!
@GaaraVII You don't know jack chit!
Back in ro caves where they should stay.
@DonaldAbrams-z4y7ythey are awfully quiet
Navy skeet shooting. Probably a lot of fun 🤩
Not sure how the sub was at both 400 ft depth and periscope depth at the same time. Otherwise, a good report.
It had a 400 ft long periscope
@somebodyelse5784 Shhhh!
wow, you just managed to use about 350000 more words than you needed to, well done. i like a torpedo hit as much as the next guy but only an American can carry on like they just invented air
U.S is always underestimated and any who attempts to declare any act of war against us will quickly find out!! My cousin is U.S Navy veteran and she always said, our naval officers, ships and Submarines are underestimated and mistaken as the weaker military branch! Huge mistake by all accounts
Believing victory is guaranteed simply because a nation has a powerful military can drift into hubris, the kind of overconfidence that has surprised many great powers throughout history.
Virginia Class does not have this problem. Replace all Los Angeles class boats with Virginia Class.
I never underestimate our boys and girls! They are the most awesome people in the world!
"any who attempts to declare any act of war against us will quickly find out"
I think you'll find it's much more usual for the U.S. to be the one who declares war.
They are a habitual aggressor of smaller countries, and use their military might to bully all and sundry.
This should not be a occasion of national pride, but one of national shame.
@michaelgove9349You are a true idiot if you think leaving Iran to do what it wanted to do to The United States of America and Israel that is the definition of INSANITY! YOU QUALIFY!
This is why they call it the "Silent Service".
A five minute report turns into a 18 minute infomercial . So American .
Yes, ain’t it though!
If they had any warning at all of the incoming torpedo, they didn’t bother telling the dozens of sailors mustered on the fantail.
They shot up 50’ in the air.
I think it’s kind of funny. You say the torpedo doesn’t make any bubbles but yet you show a torpedo in the water making bubbles.
Do you think they are going to post a new tech torpedo photo. 😅
No, they said 'no bubbles rising' ... what it's making are tiny, and breaking differently than large bubbles that immediately head to the surface.
@stevenspicer6465 yes
By time the enemy sees the “bubbles”, it’s to LATE!
Watch me snorkeling after three large lattes. Jet propulsion! 😊
That vessel had just taken part on a cremonial drill in India. It was there at the invitation of India. It was unarmed.
This was a war attrocity.
No iranian vessel was ever that sophisticated........dated equipment prone to failure frankensteined together like most other chinese made platforms
And half-assed Soviet-era junk gifted to them by the Russians.
Dont be too arrogant, Yankee.
And US still scared to fight China
@markc6140 I think he's just the right amount of arrogant; not too much, not too little
@cnn787-i9e Shaking in boots. BTW, CNN 787 flight where pilot forgot his passport?
From a movie : Who’s the most powerful man in the world? The captain of a U.S. nuclear submarine. Sounds about right.
Attacking an unarmed ship with officers cadets and claiming superiority is shameless beyond imagination.
The ship was unarmed and the navy was supposed to help the survivors according to maritime law .
It wasn't unarmed.. It was part of the IRGC navy.. Fully armed..
@MichaelLarsen-m9xIt was fully armed. It was part of the IRGC navy..
Awesome American ingenuity and power...Impressed
Totally out of context.
Hyped 🎉
the IRIS Dena was involved in major international naval activities just before it was sunk. Specifically, it was a participant in MILAN 2026, a massive multilateral naval exercise hosted by the Indian Navy, which included many BRICS and partner nations. 👀
And was UNARMED as per the exercise requirements!!! Takes a lot of guts to sink an unarmed ship, huh?
Maybe dont be military in a terrorist nation...
@bryanseyffert9191 more on, A LOT of poor people with no skills join their nation's military because they feel they have no better option. Just like in the terrorist US!!
@philborchelt5396 so you said it was an unarmed the ship. It was flying the Iranian flag and it was a legitimate target. So what you got to say about the Iranian terrorist regime, firing ballistic missile and drones, it civilian target like apartment complexes, stores, and shops, they aren’t legitimate military targets, and they are unarmed, what you got to say about that they do it all the time. Don’t say anything about that when Iran does that,
@monteallenandspock3291 1. Would you have preferred the ship had no flag, or maybe an Italian one? Maybe then you'd accuse it of duplicity? 2. A ship that 5 days previous was part of peaceful exercises with among other nations, the US, who then attacked its country while it was away? Have you ever met an Iranian? It's just like how ordinary Jews aren't the same as the Israeli government, or for that matter, average US servicemen/women aren't rabid Christian Nationalists out to kill Muslims.
Including thenavys engagement to IRGCS fastboats in entering the hormuz sftrait?
Article doesn’t state that the ship was unarmed returning from an international exercise with India in which all ships participating were unarmed. So we sank an unarmed ship whose only defense was evasion. Over 80 crewmen dead when you can’t fight back. Also US participated in this exercise so we knew. Fish in a barrel.
No reason to wait for it to arm itself and start attacking tankers. The proper plan was not to go to war with America and give over the uranium, not attack your neighbors through proxies, not kill 30,000 of your own people to maintain control. Try using your money and power to be peaceful.
coward homicide after joint naval exercises in which they had no ammunition. Remember that the US was negotiating with the Iranians and launched a surprise attack. Nobody trusts the Americans, not even their allies.
@Sypcho3 well said. That’s what peace people bleeding heart liberals are saying poor Iran. It wasn’t an armed. But ask them about all of the missiles and drone attacks that they launch on the civilian apartment complexes, shops, and stores. Because I ran canned go up against our military and Israel’s military. They have to resort to attacking civilian targets. How chicken shit that Iran is they can’t go up against our military, but these waiting hard liberals on here don’t say anything about the terrorist state of Iran attacking civilian targets.
@Sypcho3 "...go to war with America.." What do you mean? It's "not a war", it's a "special military operation", and who is the aggressor?
Let’s us not forget that the last time a sun sunk a ship was a British sub in 1981 against Argentina
Maybe stop challenging America!? Just a thought
Is there an echo in here?
The Los Angeles class fourth flight submarine can still cut the mustard, even though they're long in the tooth. Imagine what a Virginia class boat can do if called upon!
I honestly do not know what's wrong with some of these americans. Do you think if the roles were reversed they wouldn't have attacked us. They kill their own people. They want to build a nuclear weapon to kill us. They cannot be trusted. WTF😮 GOD BLESS THE MILITARY AND EVERYTHING THEY DO! because without them, you are not sleeping sound at night.
I don’t understand them either . They are useful idiots being used as assets by people with very evil intentions. Just as we see acts of terror popping up trying to kill as many innocent people as possible to spread fear and terror. Yet so many bobbleheads find ways to justify and make excuses for them.
when you are in a cult you dont know you are in a cult
Exactly and well said!
@J@JerryJerryxyz baloney
More on, the treaty the US had with Iran was preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons. The Fat Fuhrer pulled the US out the treaty like the coward he is!! The IAEA verified that Iran was in total compliance with the treaty!!
This video is an absolutely breathtaking experience from start to finish! 🌊 The storytelling is professional, turning a complex military encounter into a high-stakes thriller. I’m deeply impressed by the technical explanations, such as how the submarine hid beneath the thermocline and used a merchant ship’s radar shadow for cover [07:25]. 🚤 Every moment, from waiting for Sentcom's authorization to the launch of the Mark 48 torpedo, kept me on the edge of my seat. The video offers profound military insights while capturing the intense pressure of sub-surface warfare. 🛡 Excellent visuals and pacing! Thank you for this high-quality content. Looking forward to more! ❤👏
Steady as you go…there’s way too many assumptions and anti American rhetoric used here!
America is beautiful... America is great!
Until you get inside and see the massive corruption in the government!
It's because your forefathers were believers. The wages of sin is death" is a biblical phrase from Romans 6:23 (KJV), indicating that the natural, earned consequence of sin is spiritual, physical, and eternal separation from God
@glasslingerI'm not talking about the gooberment. America as a whole is the greatest nation to ever stand.
years ago I watched Myth Busters do an episode on the physics of an underwater explosion. It was great about explaining pressure differentials and the effect on the directionality of the blast force. Well done to the crew of the Sub, Centcom, SecWar and our awesome President who is working to eliminate a threat to Global Security right now. Awesome job.
Nice story. The ship was unarmed because it had just participated in an International Fleet Review and Milan 2026, fifty nations participated and the participants carried no munitions.
Nuclear bomb awareness
A ship is a target. Was a target. Who taps themselves out of ammo when an offensive is ongoing? Last mistake it'll make..
any enemy ship is a combatant ship. In world war 2 they would not even spare the cargo ships. also submarines are not required to help the survivors. doing so will only negate the submarines advantage. which is stealth. if the submarine surfaces it becomes the prey.
@raycuizon8226 True, but that changed in WW2 only after Allied airmen started to attack German subs saving their fellow sailors.
@jameslynch4661 The ceremonial exercise was Feb 15-25. It was a requirement of attendance that ships be unarmed. US attacked Iran Feb 28. No offensive was ongoing 'til then.
I hope life will be free from guns and bombs, and that everything will return to peace and prosperity
Challenging? They were coming from an international military boats meeting! They were not on battle stations. It’s murder
