A tanker crew made a startling find when they raised their ship's anchor off England's South Coast last week – an old unexploded torpedo. link |

From what I've heard, torpedoes do not make for good eating. |

I wouldn't want to be one of the handful of crewmen remaining on board "to fight any fires if the torpedo exploded." |

You have to squeeze the juice out of them, but discard the body. Torpedo-juice has its fans. |

Yep, my Dad was a torpedo juice fan back in 1945,
but only when mixed with Grapefruit juice… |

Hopefully that was an exercise torpedo, so no warhead. It was found in an old test range, after all! Wonder how long it took the tanker crew to unclench?  |
