| #4 Here's a longer version with English voice over. I too wish to know what was being said in Arabic?/Farsi? clip. Can someone confirm that the MK48 has a magnetic influence version? |

| #2 This is the sinking of the decommissioned Australian destroyer-escort HMAS Torrens off the coast of Western Australia in 1998. Torrens was deliberately sunk by a torpedo fired by the Australian submarine, the HMAS Farncomb. It was a Mark 48 Torpedo, which has a magnetic trigger system. |

| #1 It's sounds like Arabic commentary. Would this be that video put out by Hizb'allah last summer when they claimed they'd got an Israeli destroyer with a Chinese Silkworm missile? |
