OH SHIT! RN Fire Torpedo From Warship Into Dockyard Which Houses "NUCLEAR" Submarines

[xhw1986]

* HMS Argyll was taking part in a training drill at Devonport base in Devon

* The 45kg projectile flew 200 yards through the air and hit a metal container

* The base is used to refuel and repair Britain's nuclear submarines

A navy warship accidentally fired a 45kg torpedo into a dockyard wharf, it has emerged.

HMS Argyll was on a training exercise in Plymouth when the 9ft missile was ‘jettisoned unexpectedly’.

It tore through a security fence at the Devonport naval base before slamming into a storage container.

The Royal Navy said the Test Variant Torpedo was a dummy weapon that did not contain any explosives.

Oooopppsss ..... lucky that it was a dummy...
