\"\"<\/a>You have never seen footage where a single torpedo does damage like this.\u00a0 It’s a US made (non-nuclear) torpedo that is in use today by our submarines.\u00a0 Very precise, very accurate and very powerful.<\/p>\n

This is the Australian Submarine Navy doing a live torpedo practice shot on one of their decommissioned ships.\u00a0 They used a Mk 48 Torpedo developed in the USA.\u00a0 It is non-nuclear and not a contact weapon.<\/p>\n

It is designed to go off directly underneath the ship at about 50 feet under the keel.<\/p>\n

The effect is devastating as you can see from the video.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>This lethal weapon can break the back of ships much larger than the one shown in this video.\u00a0 The attacked ship does not even have a chance of survival.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Click here<\/a> <\/strong>for this amazing video.<\/p>\n
