US Powerful Submarine Torpedo Destroys Massive US Navy Ship During Training

[@Malakie]

A couple points, more than just Mk 48 torpedoes are used in the video. Harpoon and some other systems are used as well. One way you can tell the difference is the explosion. IF the ship rises up and snaps in half, it is a torpedo. Mk 48 is designed to break the keel of a ship, i.e. snap it into two distinct pieces. Harpoon and other missiles are designed to hole the ship and blow it apart from the inside out. It may take 2-3 Harpoons depending on the ship, its armor and where the missile penetrates. For most ships it only takes ONE Mk 48 torpedo to break it in half. Ships the size of aircraft carriers etc, may take a second torpedo or more depending on size tonnage and mass. But whatever ship it is, unless they have a top rated damage control crew, the ship is likely to sink even if it does not literally snap in half. I am former United States Navy Active, now medically retired due to service connected injuries as of 2014.

Submarine Electrician's Mate here.. I can guarantee you that those torpedoes being loaded were not the ones that sunk that target ship.. because the bright orange paint signified that they were Practice Rounds

[@Malakie]

@@quantumtommy7369 You need to read what I wrote again. I never said anything about the torps being loaded. I said the images of ships blowing up, denotes what they were hit by. In the ship sinkex, those were live warheads because that is the point. Sub, Ship, Aircraft, each take a turn firing a live warhead until the ship finally sicks.

[@quantumtommy7369]

@ I apologize if I sounded critical. I agree with everything you said. I just wanted to point out that the Torpedo Room footage had practice shots and couldn’t have been from the same TorpEx that sank the target ship a bit later.

[@brunonikodemski2420]

Our company designed the sensory electronics for the Mk48 torpedo. I was one of the design engineers, and later for testing the actual performance. Originally the MK48 was intended to have a nuclear warhead, and the entire weapons section was short and lightweight. Due to treaties, the Navy altered it have only a conventional explosive warhead. This dramatically changed the weight distribution, made it heavier, and as a result it had less range, less speed, and clumbsier to handle. We analyzed hundreds of runs against both surface ships and submarines, and delivered the algorithms as to where the best explosive power was delivered. Submarines are tough to defeat, since the torpedo may go along side, below, or above the target, at varying angles, aspect ratios, and varying closure speeds (including nose-on as in the movie). However, I guarantee that the MK48 is able to handle all of these, and there is no escape unless you are basically out of range, and if that, the Captain is a fool for firing and wasting it.

[@vapoet]

If you want to be extra impressed, that Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate would have kept going after that first hit, had there been a crew aboard. That first hit was above the waterline. And the Samuel B. Roberts took a lot worse than that in 1988.

[@illuise]

​@@vapoetdepends on the angle. even if it's above sealine, if it angles even slightly downward it could compromise the watertight integrity of subsurface compartments and cause uncontrolled intake

[@vapoet]

@@illuise I've seen a few of these and the ships, when everything is dogged down, they always hold up. My own ship. the USS Wainwright, was sunk in a Sinkex. It was hit by missiles and a torpedo and was even attacked from the air. The next day, charges needed to be set on board to actually sink it. The ships are a LOT tougher than most folks think. Even the USS Simpson had the entire keel busted and still stayed afloat. Essentially, the navy built ships are specifically built to take multiple hits and keep fighting.

[@justincase992]

So basically, the sub has to follow the target for 7 days, because that's how long it takes to load a torpedo.

[@timgannon2993]

The U.S. may have launched its first ballistic missile submarine in '57, but it wouldn't have had any missiles. Lockheed's first successful sub launch of the Polaris missile wasn't until late '59 or early '60. My grandfather worked on that after retiring from the Navy. He had a big certificate commemorating the launch.

Remember exercise JTFEX 01-2? It was in 2001 when the German stealth submarine U-24 “sunk” the “USS Enterprise”?

Also are there torpedos loaded in the tubes at all times ready to be used? My guess is due to safety reasons. And, there isn’t too much to show us because of security reasons and surprises for the enemy.

90% of the loading bits in the video were the UGM-84 which is the Harpoon missile. Harpoons take a bit more time to load than a standard heavyweight torpedo given the extra steps.

[@MikeLadnun-un4cs]

I wonder what the skip range is when bullets are fired? 4 or 5 miles?

Depends upon the caliber, angle and a few other factors. Not too many bullets get used on ships though, the rounds are more artillery than like a bullet, with high explosive surprise gifts enclosed. ;)

It seems to me that a total refit of such a large hull, such as the one sunk, would be more cost effective and faster than building something new. Or a partial refit then put it up for sale to Allies. I mean, if the Chinese can turn the Varyag into a supposed threat why couldn’t Iceland buy it and double its fleet or Philippines buy it, weld it to the Sierra Madre on the Second Thomas Shoal and double the “landmass.”

You can do that to a point. But after a certain age, no one will want them, and these type of exercises are often more important to readiness than a few extra bucks in the pocket.
