Explosive fun part of war games

AN Australian submarine has used a new super torpedo to sink an American warship off Hawaii.

Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said the torpedo had been jointly developed by Australia and the United States and was used in the planned sinking of a retired US warship.

"This represents the first new heavyweight torpedo warshot to be fired by either Navy. Just as significant is the fact that the torpedo was assembled in Australia," Mr Fitzgibbon said.
