Special Edition: White Trucks Deliver
We were sitting in the conference room watching the periscope video of the fast-attack submarine torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean where some of us sailed 47 years ago. It evokes a visceral sense dread at what it must have been like on the receiving end.
The news about how effective MK-48 torpedoes can be was accompanied by more reports on the response from the Iranian despots. They have changed the nature of warfare and how and where it can be waged. And the means by which they can continue to deliver a response. It is a change when the equivalent of a dozen batteries of long-range artillery can be hidden in the white delivery truck next to you at the light.
And may be.
