Hellenic U209 torpedo firing

[MorningShineBorx]

It must be a very hard to firing a torpedo to a zero speeded frigate by using radar and all other masses.

USS TRIPPE FF-1075, this is her at the end. U-209 had an easy mark. How could they miss? Sounds like a chinese fire drill on that sub, as if they really pulled something off. SHIT! If Trippe was activated and patrolling with her sonar systems... it's U-209 that would be going to the bottom. They have bottles of wine lined up ready to celibrate the sinking of my old ship.... those bastards! U-209 will make a nice target it's self one of these days and get the deep six....

I am very surprised at only one thing..........they guys are supposed to be completely quiet, even during an exercise. Silence on a submarine comes first among everything for the men. It has to do with detection in case anyone does not understand. Yes you are supposed to simulate that during exercise.

I served at the "victim" for 17 months. Knox class Fregate, "Thraki" F-457

Really sad to watch that. It was a piece of my life :-((

[falcon330sq]

was the torpedo an SST? Was it guided through the periscope?
