Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed another major milestone in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the U.S. and Israel. Speaking about the latest phase of 'Operation Epic Fury', he said a US submarine had sunk an Iranian warship with a torpedo, calling it the first such sinking since 'World War Two'. It is a dramatic assertion in a war already defined by spectacle and shock. But is it accurate to say this is the first successful submarine torpedo attack since the Second World War ended?
