A US Navy Los Angeles-class submarine tracks an Iranian frigate through the Indian Ocean in one of the most intense submarine engagements since the Second World War. This tactical breakdown reconstructs the entire sequence — from the fire control team building a targeting solution against a zigzagging warship, to the split-second decision to surface behind a merchant vessel’s radar shadow, to the Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo run that changed modern naval warfare overnight.
We break down the real anti-submarine warfare tactics both sides used: passive sonar tracking, thermocline exploitation, towed array operations, dipping sonar threats from the Iranian SH-3 Sea King helicopter, and the wire-guided torpedo engagement that ended with a frigate on the ocean floor. Every weapon system, every countermeasure, every tactical decision — explained in detail.
