The torpedo thing was weird. One of the turnips tame idiots (can't remember which) said it was the first torpedo sinking since WW2.
Huh? Falklands war and Belgrano spring to mind. Just looked it up and there have also been a number of other torpedo sinkings. From Wiki -
She (Belgrano) was the first ship to have been sunk during military operations by a nuclear-powered submarine[1] (the second being the Iranian IRIS Dena, which was sunk by an American submarine during the 2026 Iran war)[2] and the second sunk in action by any type of submarine since World War II (the first being the Indian frigate INS Khukri, sunk by the Pakistani submarine PNS Hangor during the India–Pakistan war of 1971).
Do the idiots never fact check anything before opening their mouths?
