U.S. Sub Sinks Iranian Warship

The New York Post reports that a U.S. submarine sunk a heavily armed Iranian warship with a torpedo--the first such torpedo attack since WWII. The video is quite impressive with how the explosion lifts half the ship out of the water. Sri Lanka dispatched ships to rescue survivors, recovering 32 survivors out of an estimated crew of 180. "The ship, which was listed as taking part in a naval drill held in the Bay of Bengal Feb. 18-25, was equipped to carry one helicopter and was armed with heavy guns, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes," the Post reports. The ship was sunk off the southern coast of Sri Lanka which would put it about 3-hours by air from the joint US-UK base on the island of Diego Garcia.
