- mastax 5y agoGiven it happened in November 1943, it may have been one of the first truely live mk14 torpedoes ;)
- sandworm101 5y agoOnce upon a time every military asset operated with live rounds. There were no "training" rounds in wartime. What happened in the OP was someone missed a step in an otherwise very normal drill. Want to really scare yourself? Google around for "broken arrows", live nuclear weapons that went missing. Most all of them were live rounds being carried during training. Something went wrong and that live nuke ended up in a field or at the bottom of a lake.
