When was the last air launched torpedo attack made?
Was it as long agao as the attack on the dam gates in Korea?

Falklands April 25, 1982, a lynx from HMS Brilliant attacked the
Santa Fe with an air launched torpoedo that failed to detonate due to
incorrect fusing.

That in it self is a wild narative. they fire everything but the kitchen
sink at that sub. Depth charges, torpedoes, machine guns and missiles.
