Looking inside a torpedo can be more interesting

[gravelbelly]

Whilst I had this torpedo disassembled recently I took a load of photos. These few show that the works inside a torpedo can be interesting, most museums show an assembled torpedo only.



I hope that you find them as interesting as I do.

It is a British 21 inch Mark 20, electrically powered, acoustic homing torpedo. It dates from the 1970's or thereabouts.

Did this use a Mk N5 fuze?

Sorry AE501, I don't have that information on the fuze. I don't have the torpedo either anymore.
