minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·12 hours agoOh yeah a Swedish sub did a similar thing to the largest US aircraft carrier, iirc. Simulated torpedos ofc but they’re as good as real ones in terms of “we got you” Yup. https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/how-a-100-million-swedish-submarine-sank-a-6-billion-navy-supercarrier/ 100-mil gotland class sub “sank” a 6.2 billion dollar aircraft carrier. We Finns haven’t been allowed to have subs for a while, and I’m army, so I don’t know much about those, but it’s the same principle yeah. The American strategy overlooks certain things sometimes. Trusts too much on technology and not enough on training.
