Nice video of the ship exploding “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

I watched the video and it was quite impressive! To be honest though if the missile hit dead on target as claimed, I was a little disappointed in the result. OK the superstructure was blown apart in the centre of the ship but the fact that the vessel was towed back to a harbour afterwards speaks volumes. I saw an early exocet test on a 'retired' Rothsay class frigate (same as HMS Plymouth) the Exocet hit much lower down in the hull and broke the frigate's back. There was no towing her back to port! The Falklands War also showed the effectiveness of that thing. To me, the Norwegian missile 'disables' enemy ships, it doesn't kill them (which is what you'd want if the rotters are going to be firing back!) Great link though, many thanks.
