"А потом я и мои слоны спели им песню."

Автор: Андрей Уланов

"On 17 September 1965 Ghazi made a surface contact and identified INS Brahmaputra and fired three World War II-era Mark 14 torpedoes and increased depth to evade counterattack. According to submarine war logs three distinct explosions were heard at about the time when the torpedoes should have impacted but Brahmaputra was not sunk, neither had it been hit since the warship did not release depth charges nor had it detected the Sonar Emissions of the Ghazi. No ships were sunk or damaged in the area and Ghazi safely reported back to base.

Upon her return she won ten war awards including two decorations of Sitara-e-Jurat, one Tamgha-i-Jurat and the President's citations and six Imtiazi Sanads while her commander, Cdr. K.R. Niazi was decorated with the Sitara-e-Jurat and chief petty officers were decorated with the Tamgha-i-Jurat. It is not known what Ghazi's target was or what the three mysterious explosions were since no inquiry report was ever submitted."

Краткий перевод: Пакистанская ПЛ засекла индийский фрегат, пальнула по нему старыми американсими торпедами, услышала три взрыва. По возвращении на базу подводников щедро посыпали наградами. Индусы не только не утонули, но и вообще не заметили, что их атаковала подводная лодка.

P.S. Это я пытаюсь "интегрировать" в "Глубокую охоту" другой эпизод с "Гази", но приходится сильно лакировать реальность, потому что "в то, что было на самом деле, никто не поверит!".
