A US submarine sank an Iranian warship using an underwater torpedo for the first time since the Second World War.
'An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.'
'Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo, a quiet death, the first American sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.'
This is the moment an Iranian warship suffered a 'quiet death' after being blasted by a torpedo

The torpedo attack occurred on Monday in the Indian Ocean, an Iranian warship which sank off the coast of Sri Lanka.
The Iranian warship jolted violently upwards before exploding in a giant plume of smoke and water.
The military used a Mark 48 Torpedo - with a 650-pound warhead - which was detonated under the vessel's stern.
The rear section of the boat was lifted out of the water momentarily after impact.
The Iranian vessel was identified as the IRIS Dena.
The IRIS Dena was one of Iran's newest warships. It was equipped with surface-to-air missiles, a cannon, machine guns, torpedo launchers and anti-ship missiles.
US forces have struck or sunk to the bottom of the ocean more than 20 ships from the Iranian regime, according to CENTCOM.

'A United States Navy fast attack submarine has sunk an enemy combatant ship using a single Mark 48 torpedo to achieve immediate effect, sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.'
The force from the torpedo sent a towering plume of smoke and water into the air
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said one of the top goals for Operation Epic Fury is to completely destroy the Iranian Navy
