Makes you wonder how they lost so bad at Leyte Gulf with a weapon like that Long Lance
My grandfather was in that battle. His tin can fired off a bunch of torpedoes. They all missed according the the ship history I read.
We ran a bunch of PT boats at then as well. They did a bit of damage, but more important, probably like your grandfather’s tin can, kept them busy while our big boys ranged them in.
If he was aboard the Heerman, then at least those torpedoes forced the Yamato out of the battle for a good while.
