Curiosities of scientific research: If you think your work is useless — remember the Swedish Navy.
In the 1980s, Swedish naval hydroacoustic systems were picking up suspicious signals that were identified as the noise of Soviet submarines. Search teams spent months trying to find evidence of an intrusion, but without success.
After the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, the mysterious signals continued. So the Swedish authorities sent a research team to investigate what was going on.
In 1996, Professor Magnus Wahlberg conducted a study and discovered that the sound was produced by herring — when their swim bladder compresses, excess gas is released through the anal canal in the form of air bubbles. This acoustic pattern is unique and found only in herring.
For 15 years, Swedish naval forces were, well… listening to herring farting.
In a few years, Hollywood will make a movie called ‘Escape from the Strait of Hormuz,’ in which a US Marine fighting through the conflict helps an Iranian girl who dreams of becoming a scientist escape the constraints of her society, start a new life in the United States, and discover her identity as a lesbian.
Trump Accused of War Crime After Attack on Iranian Vessel
The Iranian frigate IRIS Dena destroyed by the United States was reportedly unarmed and sailing on a diplomatic mission to take part in a major naval parade in India.
More than 70 countries were expected to participate in the event, including several members of NATO.
The United States had also planned to take part in the parade but withdrew at the last moment.
Instead, it allegedly torpedoed the same Iranian ship that had been heading to the event.
According to the protocol for the celebration, participating vessels are not allowed to carry ammunition.
After the attack on the unarmed vessel, the United States reportedly refused to rescue the sailors and left them at sea.
On Wednesday, the navy of Sri Lanka recovered 87 bodies. Many others remain missing.
Reporters argue that the United States could easily have seized the ship but chose instead to destroy an unarmed vessel for the spectacle.

Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked".
