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.

Source, article titled "Sink the Santa Fe!", July 2007, Sea Classics.


Curious, I wonder what kind of fusing decisions would do that.
