US Submarine Sinks Iranian Warship, Echoing 1945 Tactics

A DoD video and expert analysis indicate a US Navy fast‑attack submarine sank an Iranian warship with a Mark 48 heavyweight torpedo, marking the first submarine-on-ship kill since World War II. Analysts say the footage—likely from a Virginia‑class boat and captured in infrared—resembles the 1945 Torsk attack, though the submarine’s name has not been released and official comments are limited.
