One for the ship guys!

Posted by MusicCity on Friday, March 4, 2005 10:58 AM

I don't hang out in this area, so forgive me if this one has been posted before. A friend sent me this link and I thought I'd pass it along to you guys.

It's a series of photos of what happens when a Mk. 48 ADCAP goes off underneath an old Australian DE hulk. Interesting photos [:0]

This just goes to show that sometimes "close" does count! Right in there with horseshoes, hand grenades, and atom bombs!

Oh my! Instead of being burned to a crisp, you'd get pulverized to a pulp.

The last photo speaks volumes for watertight bulkheads, aye? (not that it would do anyone much good who happened to be left on board, laying there with their eyeballs hanging out from the concussion!) <%-O

Nice series of photos, thanks! Smile [:)]
