Summary:
A U.S. Navy nuclear-powered submarine struck and sank the Iranian warship IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka’s southern coast using a Mark 48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) torpedo, marking the first torpedo sinking of an enemy ship since World War II. The torpedo, costing approximately $4.2 million, detonated beneath the stern of the vessel, causing it to break in half and sink within minutes.
