Opening the straight not hard at all

They carry torpedoes for use against SUBS as their targets! Dumbass! Not surface vessels like oil tankers.

You need to lear to ******* read, yourself!
Doesn't mean the torps can't be used against surface targets.
This all started with you asking how to disable a Tanker's propulsion, I suggested ONE way.
You've suggested none and want to quibble over minutiae.

Try pulling your head out of your arse.

It's spelled learn BTW.
 
OMG !
Get a grip and sober up.
Depends where the tanker is hit and size of warhead on the torpedo. If it homes in on sounds of propeller and has a small warhead, it likely only disables the tanker not sinks it.

Ships the Brits loss were the topic I was suggesting. That's you deflection.

Back to point of my post to which your garbled reply;

The Argentine cruiser ARA General Belgrano was sunk on May 2, 1982, by the British nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror during the Falklands War. The sinking led to the death of 323 Argentine sailors, almost half of all Argentine casualties during the conflict, and sparked controversy, as the attack occurred outside the exclusion zone established by the British government around the islands. In the UK, some commentators have suggested that the action may have been motivated by political considerations, such as undermining peace talks or bolstering Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's popularity among the British public. In Argentina, some critics have characterized the sinking of the cruiser as a contentious act, with some even suggesting it could constitute a war crime, though this interpretation is debated and has not been legally substantiated. Some analyses argue that, from a military perspective, the sinking contributed to British naval superiority, which may have influenced the outcome of the conflict. However, this perspective remains part of broader debates about the strategic and ethical implications of the event.

The sinking of the General Belgrano was the first case of a warship being torpedoed and sunk in action by a nuclear submarine, and one of only four cases of a warship being sunk by any type of submarine since the end of the Second World War.

That's not how a ******* torpedo works and we don't have anything other than the MK 48 on our subs. What part of your stupid ******* theory do you not understand?

Torpedoes do not home on sound because you can possible shoot yourself! They also are distracted by decoys. The weapon is wire-guided to prevent exactly that. Do you know what that means or will you have to use your Google fu?
 
No? you think so?

It' very, very hard.

Wire-guided means they could be guided towards a vessel's props/rudder in override of other targeting~guidance systems. :rolleyes:

You have no idea what level of control they have, do you? That ship is likely moving when you attack it.

All you would succeed in doing is blowing the off the stern of the ship even if you could do that, which is a waste of effort. Torpedoes sink ships, not cripple them.

You are so full of shit, I bet your eyes are permanently brown.

That would be like my directing my SM-2 ER to only take off the tail section of the airplane I was shooting down so the pilots could eject!
 
Free Iranian people ? like they were under the brutal Shah Dictatorship, and they never had a nuclear weapons program you thicko.
No, assmunch. Not like those under the Shah. But those days were vastly better for most Iranians. You ignorant ****.

And yes. They absolutely had a nuclear weapons program, you lying sack of excrement.

You aren't John Wayne, nor an admiral, but you are full of bilge.

They didn't have a nuclear weapon program according to 274 IAEA inspectors, who told you they did? and try telling the thousands of dead and tortured Iranians they were better off, but that isn't the point you dumb bastard, the point is you didn't have any right to launch a unprovoked attack on Iran bombing cities and killing civilians because those Zionist gangsters told Trump to do it, the Iranians should make it their priority to kill Nuttenyahu if he is still alive and his criminal cohorts.
 
15th post
But you can change your interpretation and application of British/UK history. :rolleyes:
I have already told you i have been a critic of many parts of our History i don't just defend that history no matter what unlike many of you Americans who see any criticism of your history or Country as a personal insult, that is irrational.
 
So, how long have you hated American troops?

So let's be clear about what just happened. Trump is reportedly furious because he started a war alone, called on allies to join it, and they said no. Thirteen American service members are dead. Oil prices are skyrocketing. His own team is panicking. And the president is, in the words of his closest Senate ally, the angriest Graham has ever heard him.
This is not a president in control of events. This is a man who lit a fire and is now screaming that nobody else is helping him put it out.

A single torpedo is rarely enough to sink a large aircraft carrier

Historically, multiple hits were often required for large ships, such as the Yamato taking 7+ torpedo hits. Smaller vessels or lucky hits in sensitive areas (like magazines) are more likely to result in immediate sinking.
Yes, many military ships can survive torpedo hits due to advanced design features like watertight compartments, torpedo bulges, and strong internal structures, though survivability depends heavily on the torpedo's type, impact location, the ship's class, and damage control efforts; modern aircraft carriers and battleships are built to withstand significant damage, while less protected vessels might sink quickly.
