I think you're off by about 10 minutes.

I've got a buck that says this Iranian sub was in the sights of a US sub before, during, and after this launch and the Iranian skipper never knew it.

"I've got a buck that says this Iranian sub was in the sights of a US sub before, during, and after this launch and the Iranian skipper never knew it."

Very likely, but with the Russian rocket-torpedo they've acquired they could fire a spread of two or three and have it reach the US sub before our torpedo reaches them even if we fire first. 200 knot speed makes one hell of a difference. Also allows no time for the US sub to maneuver out of the way.
