An Iranian sailor who was killed when the warship Dena was struck by the
US near Sri Lanka had called his father shortly beforehand, saying
American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the
vessel, a source close to the family told Iran International.
The Iranian navy warship's commander refused to allow the crew to
abandon Dena despite the imminent threat, the source added.
The sailorrCOs father said some crew members argued with the commander,
and the 32 crew members who survived were mainly sailors who managed to
escape on lifeboats, according to the source.
A US submarine torpedoed Dena in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday, about 19 nautical miles from the southern Sri Lankan port of Galle, killing
dozens of sailors and significantly expanding WashingtonrCOs campaign
against IranrCOs naval forces.
The sinking of the Dena rCo described by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth as
a rCLquiet deathrCY rCo marked the first time since World War II that the United States had torpedoed an enemy warship. https://iranintl.com/en/202603071125

U-boats have done that with isolated merchant ships that could neither
escape nor attack, WW2 subs were faster on the surface than all but some passenger liners. Warning an armed combatant is rare if not unique. The Dena reportedly could launch torpedoes.

The Shinano convoy knew that USS Archerfish was nearby but assumed it was scouting for a wolfpack and wouldn't attack alone, so they didn't break formation. The sub raced ahead to a position where it could ambush and sink Shinano, the third hull of the Yamato class.

USS Barb attacked a convoy at night and when an escort left to search they moved into the escort's position, running on the surface and visible but unrecognizable in the darkness. From there they angled torpedoes into the convoy.
