What a MK-48 torpedo can do...

What a MK-48 torpedo can do...
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 the Australian
Submarine Navy doing 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.

Video attached.

Thanks Richard
