That's a pretty stark reminder of what America is capable of.
Yep, they work. https://t.co/9YkicZD0Tk

I was just going to say, WOW, this looks EXACTLY like the many WW2 films of a sub torpedo hitting a large surface ship.

Incredible. https://t.co/kxHdTqp6fH
A US submarine sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena off the coast of Sri Lanka. It was one of the most modern ships in the Iranian navy. It had around 180 sailors on board, 32 of whom have been rescued so far. https://t.co/In8V4pelky

The key word is 'was'.
Torpedos are amazing. They are designed to break the back (keel) of the ship. https://t.co/XzXs7vhnIP

It seems to have worked as designed.
First torpedo since WWII is an insane statistic.

Iranian regime, you done messed up. FAFO! https://t.co/34fhxcWPBh
President Trump and this era of America was not the one to mess with.
Damn that IS impressive as hell. It looked like the torpedo blew off a 3rd of the ship instantly. We can’t let up until every person that was part of the Iranian dictators regime have been found and exterminated. If we leave any alive they will continue the terror! https://t.co/SyrsbuaGv7

Literally!
A historic moment for maritime security. A clear demonstration of naval superiority and the commitment to maintaining order in international waters. 🇺🇸

When America is strong, the rest of the world remains in line.
BOOM! Mk-48 torpedo does its job. First enemy ship sunk by US sub torpedo since '45. Hegseth: "Quiet death." Iran learning the hard way. 🇺🇸🫡
