This was amazing. The MK48 is a badass weapon and I don't think we have ever used it in anger before. In various videos you can see the stern get sheared off and in another, a view from the stern quarter, with the stern gone. Another has crew jumping off the bow.
I can't help but think the boat skipper puposely shot for the stern to give them a chance to survive. I'd like to hope that, anyway.
Qualifier... 1st sinking of a ship by a US torpedo since WW2.
ARA General Belgrano was sunk by the Royal Navy Conqueror during the Falklands war.
And a 1971 sinking of Indian ship by a Pakistani sub.

We need more of his to remind the world we’re not all “Brandon’s”! Time to establish that we’re back.
