'Torpedo' found floating in Patuakhali canal



A torpedo-like object has been found floating in a canal at Moudubi of Rangabali upazila in Patuakhali.

Locals saw the object in the Bhangar canal near Jahajmara beach around noon on Sunday (April 28).

According to them, it came from the sea and entered the canal.

Seeing the stripes of the Indian flag on the torpedo-like object, locals suspected that it belongs to India.

Police reached the spot after receiving information.

This incident spread panic among the locals but many thronged the area to get a glimpse of the object.

A "torpedo" is an underwater self-propelled explosive. Although historically, the term also referred to rudimentary naval mines and spar torpedoes. These were utilised on an ad hoc basis from the early modern period to the late nineteenth century.​

It's a training torpedo, they have bright colors painted on them to help identification.

Or could be some kind of naval beacon.

May have floated in from the sea.

Happens all the time - nothing to do with Indian Navy.

It is a test torpedo of the BN. The color scheme says so. They will confirm it if they ever will. No worries.

The color scheme of the torpedo resembles the color scheme of Indian national flag. BN never uses tri color scheme.

Here is the tri color scheme of Indian national flag:

It is a test torpedo, and it belongs to Bangladesh Navy. The Indian flag has nothing to do with a test torpedo's color. No one puts flag color on a test torpedo where visibility and other aspects are more important. Ask a Bangladesh Navy guy, and he will tell you, as I already said above, that you need confirmation from them as they have the item now. Anyone who served in the Navy can tell you this too.
