Royal Navy test fires torpedoes💥

HMS Portland and a Merlin helicopter from 814 Naval Air Squadron fire drill torpedoes to test their anti-submarine warfare capability.

HMS Portland was part of the task group alongside HMS Prince of Wales as part of the UK’s carrier strike group during Nato Exercise Steadfast Defender 24.

Canada does it exactly the same way, Britain and Canada basically invented and perfected ASW (anti submarine warfare) in the North Atlantic

God bless the Mother country and all of our 56 siblings and France 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇫🇷❤

Good stuff. While submarines are the main ship weapon it’s good to have backups.

They don't tell you about the nuclear depth charges though. !
And we most definitely do have them

It's all very nice, but unfortunately performative. Modern nuclear and diesel-electric submarines are undetectable when submerged. One such submarine will take out an entire Carrier Task Force without being discovered.

The comments are going to devolve into "bro helicopters can't hunt submarines they will get shot down"
