My Granddad served 4 combat patrols aboard USS Gato and took depth charges more than once. Water compression from an explosion is no joke. I wouldn’t like to be underwater when a nuke lights off in the water near me. Sounds like a suicide weapon.

Not known for treating their troops or people with normal care.

Oh, I'm not denigrating what the sardines went through and/or go through. I was ridiculing the language used. What is the purpose of the word "massive" in that headline?
