Default MK-48 torpedo takes out destroyer (video)
the sheer destructive power is this weapon is absolutely incredible!



Have you ever seen footage where a single torpedo does damage like this? It's a US made (non nuclear) torpedo that is in use today by our submarines....very precise, very accurate and very powerful. This is an Australian Navy Submarine performing a live torpedo practice shot on one of their decommissioned ships. They used a MK 48 torpedo developed in the USA. It is not a contact weapon. It is designed to go off directly underneath the ship at about 50 feet under the keel. The effect is devastating as you can see from the video. This lethal weapon can break the back of ships much larger than the one shown in this video. They don't even have a chance of survival.
