torpedo attack
"cdr" wrote in
: "John Keeney" wrote in message oups.com... When was the last air launched torpedo attack made? Was it as long agao as the attack on the dam gates in Korea? Falklands April 25, 1982, a lynx from HMS Brilliant attacked the Santa Fe with an air launched torpoedo that failed to detonate due to incorrect fusing. Source, article titled "Sink the Santa Fe!", July 2007, Sea Classics. That in it self is a wild narative. they fire everything but the kitchen sink at that sub. Depth charges, torpedoes, machine guns and missiles. http://www.navynews.co.uk/falklands/...8202042501.asp BTW: the Santa Fe was the EX-US sub Catfish SS-339 Theres a picture of some of the damage to the sub http://www.rontini.com/catfish.htm
