The Torpedo Market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.0 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% over the forecast period.
Spearfish torpedo. The Spearfish torpedo (formally Naval Staff Target 7525) is the heavy torpedo used by the submarines of the Royal Navy. It can be guided by wire or by autonomous active or passive sonar, and provides both anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capability.
The Mark 48 torpedo is the standard torpedo on all U.S. submarines. First entering service in 1971, it is 19 feet (6 m) long, 21 inches (53 cm) in diameter, and weighs 3,450 pounds (1,565 kg) with a 650-pound (295-kg) explosive warhead.
Robert Whitehead (born Jan. 3, 1823, Bolton-le-Moors, Lancashire, Eng. —died Nov. 14, 1905, Beckett, Berkshire) was a British engineer who invented the modern torpedo.
Even a small explosive charge, if detonated near the torpedo, could damage the screw, control surfaces, or guidance mechanism and would thus render the weapon harmless or degrade its performance.
The Mk 50 can be launched from either aircraft or surface warships. Price Range. Per unit, the Mk 50 torpedo is estimated to cost between $750,000 and US$1 million.
Can a destroyer take a torpedo? Well yea, if the torpedo hit's amidships, it's dead, but bow and stern torpedo hits, at a survivable angle with a lot of luck, could allow for destroyers to survive, with several examples of such occurring throughout the second world war.
The Upholder/Victoria-class submarines, also known as the Type 2400 (due to their displacement of 2,400 tonnes), are a class of diesel-electric submarines built in the United Kingdom in the 1980s to supplement the nuclear submarines in the Submarine Service of the British Royal Navy.
Otto Fuel II is a distinct-smelling, reddish-orange, oily liquid that the U.S. Navy uses as a fuel for torpedo and other weapons systems. It is a mixture of three synthetic substances. It contains mostly propylene glycol dinitrate, but it also contains dibutyl sebacate and 2-nitrodiphenylamine.
If you're carrying a V-cutter, then you will be able to use this on your Torpedo. Because of the design and shape of the cutter, chances are you'll end up not with a V-shape, but with a wedge, as the size of the cigar limits the amount of cap you can cut.
Photon torpedoes have an automatic self- destruct that triggers if they fail to hit their target in order to prevent that. Most physical weapons can be set up to self -destruct after they miss the target. They do this today I do not see why they wouldn't be the same in the future.
They can survive attacks from side-attacking torpedoes because of their size—bigger is better in terms of hull survivability—and built-in features, such as the Torpedo Side Protection System (TSPS) that has been installed in almost half the carrier fleet.
The sailors, in turn, stepped up their game by smuggling torpedo fuel off-boat to purify it in secret distilleries. Crewmen allegedly used pineapple juice to flavor the ethanol, which led to the birth of the modern-day drink called Torpedo Juice.

An aerial torpedo (also known as an airborne torpedo or air-dropped torpedo) is a torpedo launched from a torpedo bomber aircraft into the water, after which the weapon propels itself to the target. First used in World War I, air-dropped torpedoes were used extensively in World War II, and remain in limited use.
"The torpedoes used in World War II were usually 20 to 24 ft (6.1–7.3 m) long, carrying up to 600 lb (272 kg) of explosives at a speed of 50 knots for more than 10,000 yd (9,144 m)."
