New details.
Details of the recent sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena have become known. The vessel was attacked by the US nuclear-powered submarine USS Charlotte (SSN-766), a Los Angeles-class submarine commissioned in 1994.
7th Fleet Los Angeles-class fast-attack sub USS Charlotte (SSN 766) fired the single Mk 48 torpedo that sunk Iranian frigate IRIS Dena (75), @JimLaPorta reports.

Military experts identified the type from periscope footage - the Los Angeles-class subs use a classic optical periscope through which the operator directly observes the target, while the newer Virginia uses masts with digital cameras and displays inside the central station.
The submarine in question is most likely involved in escorting the US carrier strike group USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) relatively nearby off the coast of Oman.
