Saw a video where someone pointed out the perpendicular shot was more a WW2 strategy than the current tactic of firing from the forward quarter. He said we will probably not find out why but the shot shown was unusual. Guess he was right. Mark 48 miss! Wow a ship not doing evasion.

Perhaps the crew, having never fired a war shot, screwed up the arming?

It was old, past its X-date?

Dog ate their homework?

It’s really odd a Mark 48 MISSED a perpendicular ‘easy’ shot.

Mybe they targeted on anticipated evasive maneuvers but guessed wrong.
