Which reminds me, I haven't listened to "Damn the Torpedoes" in awhile...

ADG

That's the way modern torpedoes are designed to work. Instead of slamming into the side of the ship, they explode underneath it as close to the middle as possible. The explosion itself breaks the back of the ship with upward force, then the ship falls back into a "hole" in the water created by the cavitation effect of the explosion.

Ain't technology grand :thumbsup

That was a back breaker!

Wonder how long it took to sink.

god damn, that is destruction

Wow crazy!

Then again I am wondering isn't this polluting the oceans?

Sunken ships make great reefs.

Start to finish.... Looks like thirty seconds.

That's some shit!

Wow that sunk fast. much faster than than in WW II movies ;-)

Indeed they do.

You think that sinks fast, check this shit out. This one sank pretty quick too.

and the funny thing is: they bought the technology from the Russians :)

And then there's this one ..

I have a feeling that video was edited. I highly doubt a ship that size can sink in 30 seconds. Although, it did look fast.

I miss Tony Snow's smugness. :( He's pretty smug now though isn't he? I hope he died in agonizing pain. :)

That cartoonist really missed a great opportunity too. He/she should have had that "Mission Accomplished" banner on that sinking ship lol

that's pretty crazy.. i wonder what technology their using for the torpedos

So anyone on a navy boat, could be killed with one torpedo.

I guess thier is no point in makeing big ships anymore, if all it takes is one little torpedo to sink them.

for every action there's a reaction equal in force and opposite in direction

that was pretty impressive

cool video...

It doesn't cut the ship in half. The Torpedo likely didn't even touch the ship. They go under the ship and blow up and the water pressure actually breaks the ship in half.

Sorry Nick, but I find that unbelievable sad and sick that you wish someone agonizing pain because you didn't agree with their politics. Tony Snow was a great guy regardless of his political views, and it takes an immense amount of hate to hope he died in a lot of pain. :disgust

Amazing... I love military technology

Too bad no moronic Americans were on it. Would have made the world a better place....

fucking fast ....................:Oh crap

cool stuff :thumbsup

... says the guy running a sick ass gore site. I suppose it makes sense that you would post something like that, but I'm doubting youre the salt of the earth. :error :321GFY
