Pretty awesome!  

Check this out, take out a battle ship with one torpedo, and it never touches the physical ship

 

The Iranian Navy may want to rethink their threats to the USA Navy in the Strait of Hormuz.

 

This is the Australian Navy doing a live torpedo practice shot on one of their decommissioned ships.  They used a Mk 48 torpedo developed in the  USA and used on all ships in the current USA submarine fleet.  It is non nuclear and not a contact weapon. It is designed to go off directly underneath the ship at about 50 feet under the keel.  The Steam Bubble from the explosion is what breaks the ship's back.  The effect is devastating as you can see from the video.
