This illustration from an 1882 Leslie's Monthly portrays an engineer (fireman) finding a torpedo on the track. A railway detonator, (torpedo in North America) or fog signal is a coin-sized device that is used as a loud warning signal to train drivers. It is placed on the top of the rail, usually secured with two lead straps, one on each side ...
The Test were done by the first two Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons one and two. [3] [4] With the new boats a new base was built, to train the new Squadrons at Melville, Rhode Island on Narragansett Bay, the Melville Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons Training Center. [5] Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 4 was based at the Training Center to train the new ...
PT-105, an 80' Elco boat, under way. A PT boat (short for patrol torpedo boat) was a motor torpedo boat used by the United States Navy in World War II.It was small, fast, and inexpensive to build, valued for its maneuverability and speed but hampered at the beginning of the war by ineffective torpedoes, limited armament, and comparatively fragile construction that limited some of the variants ...

The equations implemented in the angle solver can be found in the Torpedo Data Computer manual. [40] The Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual [41] discusses the calculations in a general sense and a greatly abbreviated form of that discussion is presented here. The general torpedo fire control problem is illustrated in Figure 2.
Torpedo defence includes evasive maneuvers, passive defense like torpedo belts, torpedo nets, torpedo bulges, and sonar torpedo sensors, "soft-kill" active countermeasures like sonar decoys and sonar jammers, and "hard-kill" active defenses, like anti-torpedo torpedoes similar in idea to missile defense systems.
