woah. how many shots/second was that guy shooting? amazing photos

Set up...I think so anyway..

definently a setup

Looks more like a fire test to me! (set up of course :D)

....it is a setup obviously

modern military photos of actual combat as big as this dont come by easily

No shit, sherlocks. Whatever could the giant crosshairs on the hull be for? :rolleyes:
The military drags out derelict ships all the time for target practice and weapons testing.

Anyway, did anyone else notice how it looked like roadkill with all its red internal organs and blood spewing out after the torpedo hit?

its called a SINKEX.. they do it to test survivability of the ships, and the lethality of our weapons... cool stuff. I havent been a apart of one yet, but then again my ship doesn't have weapons systems capable of that.

they have small nuclear warheads in some torpedos correct?

i can not divulge that information

wow, cool.

well the Russians/Soviets had them for sure... so the USA surely must have them...;)

Soviets had them because it'll be hard otherwise to fight an entire carrier battle group...

lol, torpedoes aren't the reason battleships are obsolete, aircraft carriers are.
