Not really an 'oops' - it was a redundant warship!
Scary though...

It was probably £2,000,000 at today's scrap prices
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Are not all warships redundant now? Against weapons like that do they have any real purpose? I doubt even an aircraft carrier could take a hit like
that, subs are most powerful weapons on the planet.

Except they can be tracked by satellite and/or fixed sea-bed sonar installations, and relatively easy to knock out with a helicopter and sub-seeking
underwater missiles (torpedos that can go downwards).

Their quite tricky to actually find when down deep, satellites can only detect them when near the surface. They'll always be counter measures
but given they have 3/4 of the planet surface to hide, subs do go missing never to be found again it’s an awful large area to pick them out. Hide
under the ice sheet and no one will find it but they can still launch around 200 nuke warheads per sub in a matter of minutes. What else comes even
close to that fire power and stealth.

Looks like the film was cut (a bit) and it really depends if they shut all the watertight doors and hatches.... It will still sink if you do, but
hopefully a bit slower than that!

I'm not so sure - the ship folded like a banana when the torpedo went off. I'd be surprised if the internal structure wasn't ripped
apart at that point.
I read somewhere recently that they don't try to hit the ship any more, they just try to explode underneath it and let the pressure wave do the
damage.

Good to see they're still polluting the oceans completely unnecessarily!
Impressive bang though!

I'd be far happier if it was just in Australian hands, they've got a better record when it comes to actually shooting the enemy
instead of their friends
