Torpedo hits can be devastating. Some some miss, some sink and some survive. But what happened during the Battle of Kolombangara is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #shorts

When a Torpedo Hits a Ship #shorts
Nice oil slick brought to you by the government that's going to control mother nature yea sure I trust ya
Seems like they could have disposed of some of that oil before the sinking exercise.
You'd think they would have prevented all that oil from polluting the ocean, but I guess that's too much to ask for. Smh
How the oil leaking?
Modern torpedoes explode under the a ships keel. This creates the water tapping effect where the water explodes with huge force on the ship. This then creates an undersea cavity where the ship drops. This violent up and down is what breaks a ship in half.
Most WW2 torpedoes were exploding (if they were not failing to) when in contact to the ship. Although this was devastating, an part of the force of explosion was wasted as it was directed to the sea. That is why a ship in WW2 had to be hit with more than one torpedo.
It's not what you sink…
It's how you sink it
They deserved the A bomb
I've played too much Azur Lane to immediately imagine the ships as characters..
My grandfather was a gunner's mate on "Lucky Lou" during this. That ship earned 11 battle stars throughout WW2! Thank you to the service of our servicemen then and now!
Army Shits full the all ocean…
The USS Lexington CV16 and aircraft carrier also was hit by a torpedo. It returned to service in WWII and got the name the gray ghost from the Japanese whom thought it was sunk.
contaminate the water… fukking criminals
Saw that ship cut in half, thought "well that's gonna leave a mark"…
Couldn't find deeper water to sink that old wreck?
Emergency mattress
Biden really dropped the ball on this one
WW2 Torpedo- Hits the side of your ship and detonates on impact. Damage is pretty much solely from the warhead and impact.
Modern Torpedo- Detonates underneath your ship and creates a water blast that cracks a ship in half. Damage isn't from the warhead but the impact the huge ball of water creates underneath your ship that literally lifts the ship out of the water.
You can survive the former, you arnt surviving the latter.
Sailor on the St. Louis: “Send my mattress to the Honolulu. It’s the one with the big brown stain”.
Nice exercice without removing the oil before
Nice bet they didn’t do anything about all the oil and pollutants they put in the water just to blow something up
Pearl Harbor is a natural deep harbor, meaning it doesn't have to be dredged. Also it is half way between America and Japan. That's why we stole it from the native islanders and put our military there.
Sinking and pollution exercise. Could have pumped the bilge and drained the tanks first.
Nice to see that they decontaminated the ship before scuttling her.
And they didn't sink?! That alone is impressive.
"A sinking exercise"
Are they talking about the ship or America?
What a waste. And impactful on the environment and wildlife too. You can see what looks like oil leaking into the water.
The ship that lost its entire front…
You see the chains?
They just bent the deck down over it and started ramming waves.
People were built different back then.
Rather than give his laid off workers severance pay, the boss at P&O Ferries decided to just scuttle the whole fleet.
Bless the contamination of of our environment for military purposes. Love it guys ❤
Impressive that a Brooklyn class CL would survive the Type 92s 650 lb shaped charge warhead.
Don’t forget about the amazing uss enterprise
It was said that when the bow on Honolulu was torn loose, it swung around, striking the side of the ship. Wags joked the light cruiser was the only ship to ram herself.
