The Pentagon on Wednesday released epic footage of a submarine blowing up an Iranian warship with a torpedo.
This is the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.
“In the Indian Ocean—an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship, that thought it was safe in international waters,” Hegseth said.
“Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo—Quiet Death,” Hegseth said.
“The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War 2. Like in that war—back when we were still the War Department—we are fighting to win,” Hegseth said.
