Image talk:Torpedo narrow miss.jpg

[edit] Caption

I know the originating site claims this is a "narrow miss", frankly I don't think that holds water. Firstly, the torpedo is running on the surface and, secondly, it isn't running very fast. It also looks like the back of a motor boat. What I imagine this is a photo of is actually launching a torpedo; the earlier motor torpedo boats used to simply drop the torpedo off the back of the boat and swerve away before it could get up to speed. Indeed, the boat appears as if it might be swinging to port. Emoscopes ^Talk 00:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
