First US Navy Submarine Engagement since World War II

Описание: ⚓ A U.S. Navy submarine finds an enemy frigate at sea—and the periscope camera is rolling. What happened next made international headlines.

The Iranian frigate IRIS Dena was returning home from a naval review in India when, about forty miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, a U.S. submarine located
it. Through the periscope, the crew recorded the encounter. Moments later, a Mark 48 torp was launched.

The Mk 48 went off beneath the stern of the ship, the 650 pound payload sending water a couple hundred feet in the air. The underwater explosion appears to have blown off the aft section, and continued footage shows the Dena settling and sinking from the stern. The precision, patience, and firepower of undersea warfare fully display.

This marks the first successful engagement of an enemy surface combatant by a United States Navy submarine since World War II. That is a historic milestone in modern naval combat.

For veterans, active-duty sailors, Marines, airmen, soldiers, law enforcement officers, and firefighters—you understand discipline, stealth, and decisive action. Submarine warfare is quiet, calculated, and final.
