ORIGINAL: Neilster Have a look at page one of this thread to see that. Cheers, Neilster I think that is a contact fuse. Note the smoke and black debris coming out from inside the hull. You can also see the debris impacting the water behind the ship in the early frames. No, I don't think so. Look at picture number 2... The explosion "plume" of water is coming up both side of the ship. That explosion is under the hull, not on one side of the ship. The debris is from the stuff knocked loose by the shock of the explosion. I have seen training videos of the insides of such a hit, and all kinds of piping comes loose, and hull weld seams open up. It's just a pretty big bang, after all, and water makes a much better conductor of explosive shock than steel or air. You could be right. I thought that might be debris blown out the opposite side of the hull or a shock wave created ast the hull was displaced laterally? Also the smoke blowing out the stack seems to be very early in the process, but that could be from an external shockwave compressing some air-filled space with soot in it.
