On Monday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Bureau received a call regarding a suspicious device floating in the water. A boater spotted the torpedo off the coast of Dana Point...

The torpedo turned out to be an inert device used for military training, LASD officials said.

It was turned over to the Navy technicians, who will likely dispose of the device.

Definitely suspicious...
Sex, LGBT, drugs, and the USN... A recipe for lost torpedos, real or practice...

My first thought was: “Good grief! They are still out to assassinate FDR...”

HA!
We dropped a ton of inert MK-56 fish from our P-3s off Kauai.

Those things are supposed to flood (water soluble plugs) and sink after the fuel is spent.

Oops!

We shot off a dummy torpedo and it accidentally hit a Russian ship. They accidentally fired one back at us. It almost knocked me out of my rack

Maybe someone was thinking of taking out the RNC - they were at the Four Seasons there.

How does the Navy lose track of such a realistic training device? Oh right, the same way 2 combat ships ran into huge slow-moving cargo ships.

Not my Navy anymore (USN 75-87). I'm so glad I served when the Navy had its act together. I'm sure there are others on this board who feel the same way.

LOL! That's not the half of it.

If all the sonobouys we dropped were still floating, you could walk from Ouahu to Kauai, and not get your feet wet!
