Now that should put the nonsense about "human torpedoes" to rest, that can be read in some press reports. Such a mini sub would never have managed to come close enough to an ASW ship. It couldn't run at high speed, because it then would have been detected, and it probably wouldn't have had the oxygen tanks for a long term pursuit. And on its final attack approach it would have been detected, and the Cheonan could have send a message.<br /><br />No, two facts reported in the press point in another direction, imho: Firstly, the ship has been sunk in shallow waters, or else it couldn't have been salvaged. And secondly, experts say it looks like there was an explosion UNDER the ship, creating a bubble that broke its keel. Shallow water, explosion under the ship, the primary suspect should be a bottom mine.Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926354968306362321noreply@blogger.com
