British WW2 Torpedoes used a Duplex Pistol, which swivelled on contact, so it could be fired at extreme angles of contact-there was thus no need for the space-hungry inertia type of pistol. Has anyone seen a cutaway of this device? Also, there is much talk of "Ulan" type depth control being used. What was special about this, and I assume it was copied from a German design, around 1890's? Perhaps "Ulan" was a code name, or the name of a German naval vessel on which it was trialed.
