“What’s that high pitched whirring sound that’s getting louder?”
“Must be whales farting. Too much krill.”
An article in The Conversation:
“It is also unlikely the crew of IRIS Dena would have known they had been struck by a submarine launched torpedo. Such a torpedo would be fired from far away, beyond the detection range of a ship’s hull-mounted sonar.”
That ASW crew must have been asleep, then. 🙄

We used to do this with Perry frigates back in the day.
Now we’d have to pull an Arleigh Burke off the line and they’re already overworked.
Sad to see when the Perrys went in harms way in minefields in the 80s.

Fun fact: The original ending of Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” was going to a comedic top off to the movie.
After the fall of France in 1940, Chaplin changed the ending to the final speech scene we have today.
When he finally did a talkie, he said it all. #film

“Are those cows over there playing poker and smoking pot?”
“Yep. Guess the steaks are pretty high.”

USS North Carolina fitting out of Brooklyn Naval Yard, 1941. She was in and out so many times she was derisively called “The Showboat.”
The name stuck. #BB55 #WW2 #NavalHistory
