FYI


The torpedo, historically called a locomotive torpedo, is a self-propelled explosive projectile weapon, launched above or below the water surface, propelled underwater toward a target, and designed to detonate on contact or in proximity to a target.A Mark 32 Mod 15 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tube (SVTT) fires a Mark 46 Mod 5 lightweight torpedo.Torpedoes may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned naval mines and naval fortresses. They are also used in conjunction with other weapons; the Mark 46 torpedo used by the United States becomes the warhead section of the ASROC (Anti-Submarine ROCket) and the CAPTOR mine uses a submerged sensor platform that releases a torpedo when a hostile contact is detected.The word torpedo comes from a genus of electric rays in the order Torpediniformes, which in turn comes from the Latin \"torpere\" (to stun). There is no physical resemblance between the ray and the mechanical torpedo. In naval usage, the torpedo was so named by Robert Fulton, who used it to refer to a towed gunpowder charge that was used by his submarine Nautilus to demonstrate that it could sink warships. Fulton\'s experiments were conducted 1800 to 1805.Prior to the invention of the self-propelled naval torpedo, the term \"torpedo\" was applied to any number of different types of explosive devices, generally having the property of being secret or hidden, including devices we would today call booby traps, land mines and naval mines, among others.Much like the invention of the helicopter, the earliest torpedoes are thought to have existed as concepts many centuries before being developed as working devices. The earliest known description of what might be called a torpedo is found in the work of Syrian scholar Hassan Al-Rammah in 1275. His works show illustrations of a rocket-propelled device that appears to have been designed to move on the surface of water.Nordenfelt-class Ottoman submarine Abdülhamid (1886) was the first submarine in history to fire a torpedo while submerged under water. Two submarines of this class, Abdülhamid (1886) and Abdülmecid (1887) joined the Ottoman fleet. They were built in pieces by Des Vignes (Chertsey) and Vickers (Sheffield) in England, and assembled at the Taskizak Naval Shipyard in Istanbul, Turkey.Although the term \"torpedo\" was not coined until 1800, the early submarine Turtle attacked using an explosive very similar in intent and operation to Fulton\'s \"torpedoes\". Turtle dove under a British vessel and attach a bomb by means of an auger. The bomb was detonated by a timed fuse, probably a type of clockwork mechanism. In its only recorded attack, Turtle failed to penetrate the hull of HMS Eagle, which had been copper-plated to resist the action of shipworm.The first usage of the term \"torpedo\" to refer to a naval explosive was by Fulton. This type of towed torpedo, fitted with one of several types of contact fuses, remained in use through the American Civil War. The Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley was originally designed to use this type.During the American Civil War the term \"torpedo\" was used for what is today called a contact mine, floating on or below the water surface using an air-filled demijohn or similar flotation device. (As self-propelled torpedoes were developed the tethered variety became known as stationary torpedoes and later mines.) Several types of naval \"torpedo\" were developed and deployed, most often by the Confederates, who faced a severe disadvantage in more traditional warfare methods.Civil War \"torpedoes\" floated freely on the surface or were tethered to the bottom using a line and a weight holding the mine just below the surface. They were detonated when struck by a ship, or after a set time, but were unreliable. These could be as much a danger to Confederate as to Union shipping, and were sometimes marked with flags that could be removed if Union attack was deemed imminent. Rivers mined with Confederate torpedoes were often cleared by Unionists placing captured Confederate soldiers with knowledge of the torpedoes\' location in small boats ahead of the main fleet.\"Torpedoes\" (mines) could also be detonated electrically by an operator on shore, so friendly vessels or low-value enemy vessels could be ignored while waiting for the capital ships to sail over them. However, the Confederacy was plagued by a chronic shortage of materials including platinum and copper wire and acid for batteries, and the wires had a tendency to break. Electricity was a new technology, and the limitations of direct current for effective distance was poorly understood, so failures were also possible because of the decrease in voltage when the torpedoes were placed too far from the batteries. Former United States Navy Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury, who served as a commander in the Confederate Navy, did work on the development an underwater electrical mine.David Farragut encountered tethered and floating contact mines in 1864 at the American Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay. After his leading ironclad, USS Tecumseh, was sunk by a tethered contact mine (torpedo), his vessels halted, afraid of hitting additional torpedoes. Inspiring his men to push forward, Farragut famously yelled, \"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!\"The first torpedoes driven at specific targets were spar torpedoes; the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet (12 m) long projecting forward underwater from the bow of the attacking vessel. When driven up against the enemy and detonated, a hole would be caused below the water line. Spar torpedoes were employed by the Confederate submarine Hunley and David-class torpedo boats, among others. However these torpedoes would be able to cause as much harm to their handlers as to their targets.
