  1. Well that is very sad. However, with every bomb it should be considered the minimum altitude to avoid being caught in the blast radius of your own bomb. And delays were even on most bombs to allow for a dive bomber an extra 3-4 seconds before the bomb explodes so the plane doesn't get caught in the frag pattern of it's own bomb. Even with an "experimental bomb" all of these possibilities SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED AND THE CREW DROPPING THE BOMB BRIEFED & A MINIMUM ALTITUDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON. And a mistake like that whether it was the lack of giving the crew the important information that it needed to safely use such weapon or the crew itself dropping the weapon at an altitude below it's intended use? EITHER WAY IT IS A HUGE SCREW UP ON SOMEONES PART AND I HOPE IT WAS FOLLOWED UP BY A COURT MARTIAL OF SOME DEGREE.

  2. And so by turning broadside the ship provides the enemy with a larger target however also giving the ship the best possible ability to strike fast & first. Cuz in striking first you can possibly deny the enemy a chance to retaliate. Especially if a firing solution is correct & exploited to the best ability of the ship in question then the enemy ship may end up a sinking wreck and unable to fire because of their on board missiles causing secondary explosions & tearing the enemy ship apart like a magazine explosion.
