If you ever ask yourself, "Man, what would make me feel really good right about now?"—you'd be surprised at how often the answer is, "Watching the U.S. Air Force drop a big ol' bomb on a big ol' ship."

Beautiful!

Some background:

The new technology provides the US Air Force with torpedo-like kill capabilities on US Air Force platforms...

While torpedoes are mostly used to sink enemy ships, such an attack gives away the location of the submarine, making it vulnerable to counterattack.

'A Navy submarine has the ability to launch and destroy a ship with a single torpedo at any time, but the 'Quicksink' [Joint Capability Technology Demonstration] aims to develop a low-cost method of achieving torpedo-like kills from the air at a much higher rate and over a much larger area,' said Kirk Herzog, AFRL program manager.

Man, you got to give the U.S. military credit: Some genius at the Air Force was just sitting around all day when he suddenly realized, "Hey, what if he fired the torpedos...from the air??"

And it worked! He was right!

Well done, Air Force!
