	Torpedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torpedoes are weapons that may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned naval mines and naval fortresses.
		The Bangalore Torpedo, invented in 1912, is a cylindrical explosive device on the end of a pipe used to clear minefields and barbed wire.
		In the case of deck or tube launched torpedoes, the diameter of the torpedo is obviously a key factor in determining the suitability of a particular torpedo to a tube or launcher, similar to the caliber of the gun.

	Florida Museum of Natural History Ichthyology Department: Round Stingray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The round stingray is grayish brown, either plain, mottled, or spotted with dark blotches, on the dorsal surface, fading to a pale yellow, orange, or white underside.
		Adult round stingrays feed primarily on benthic invertebrates such as stomatopods, amphipods, shrimp, and portunid crabs, and to a smaller extent, on polychaete worms and small fishes.
		Stingrays are aptly named for the venomous serrated spine located on the tail, with the round stingray being no different.

	[No title]
		Stingray was at Manila on 7 December when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and immediately put to sea on her first war patrol.
		Although Stingray's fifth war patrol, in the vicinity of the Solomon Islands, and sixth war patrol, conducted in the Marshall Islands, were unproductive, during the seventh, the submarine torpedoed and sank the cargo ship Tamon Maru.
		Stingray carried out two special missions in the Philippine Islands during her fourteenth and fifteenth war patrols; and, on 11 January 1945, she put to sea on her sixteenth and final war patrol.

	BHARAT RAKSHAK MONITOR: Volume 3(4)
		The Torpedo is one of the oldest weapons in the Naval Inventory,Having been invented over 130 years ago, But at the same time it remains one of the deadliest anti-ship and anti-submarine weapon,It is far more lethal to submarines and surface ship than any other conventional weapon.
		Torpedoes fall in two main categories: Heavy Weights that are mainly confined to submarines (with a few notable exception) and Light Weights that are used both as offensive weapons in anti-submarine warfare or as defensive anti-submarine weapons by surface warship.
		The Stingray was intended to have a Sceps plant as well, but this was cancelled in 1991 and it runs on a sea water battery.The Swedish Tp 45 and Tp 46 weapons are driven by a three-speed electric motor, whereas Eurotrop’s MU 90 Impact uses a variable speed motor designed by STN Atlas Elektronik.

	Stingray biology
		The Stingray is any of a class of cartilaginous marine animals of the subclass Elasmobranchii, orders Myliobatiformes (rays) or Rajiformes (skates), found in both salt- and fresh-coastal waters, as well as some rivers, around the world.
		Stingrays do not "attack" aggressively, or even actively defend themselves - when threatened their primary reaction is to swim away.
		Stingrays are not normally visible to swimmers, but divers and snorkellers may find them in shallow sandy waters, more so when the water is unseasonably warm.

	British Torpedoes after World War II
		This torpedo was still in use as late as 1982 when three of them were used during the Falklands War to sink the Argentine cruiser Belgrano.
		This torpedo depends heavily on data provided by the firing submarine, but the torpedo tended to dip and break the guidance wires during launch.
		Torpedoes built to the new standards were designated as Mod 2, and all 600 existing Mark 24 torpedoes were modified to this standard by 1987.

		Stingray is a lightweight homing torpedo that is carried in the bomb bay of the Nimrod MR2.
		The torpedo is fully programmable with a number of search options and has been designed to destroy submarines.
		The torpedo seeker can either home in on the sound of the submarine or detect and track the target using its own sonar.

	Review - DVD: Stingray - The Complete Series
		The most impressive part is that Stingray did it in a half hour while Thunderbirds had a full hour to work its magic.
		The Stingray is a submarine with plenty of oomph and defensive abilities, which it needs since there are all kinds of angry green men in large cities under the sea, green men who are bent on destroying...
		There's a little island the Stingray almost always cruises past for no apparent reason, and on a cliff on that island is a little house occupied by a spy for the bad green men.

	ROBOTECH: RDF Aquatic Torpedoes - Madcap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Madcap torpedo served as the main submarine armament in both the early RDF and Southern Cross Navies.
		The REF Air Force procured an air launched version of the Madcap torpedo for use by its Space Kitchen anti-submarine planes, as the standard Terran air dropped ASW torpedo, the Stingray, could not be expected to be effective against such craft as the Prometheus.
		However, the Space Kitchen was never used in its anti-submarine role due to a lack of targets, and thus the mod 9 Madcap, which was a standard mod 8 equipped with a parachute and hardpoint connections, was never fired in anger.

		C-2 (Submarine No. 13) was launched 8 April 1909 as Stingray by Fore River Shipbuilding Co., Quincy, Mass., under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company; sponsored by Miss E. Stevens; and commissioned 23 November 1909, Ensign E. Armstrong in command.
		Stingray, assigned to the Atlantic Torpedo Fleet and later the Atlantic Submarine Flotilla, cruised east coast waters until 20 May 1913, when she cleared Norfolk, Va., for 6 months of operations from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
		In December she reported at Cristobal, C.Z., and began an operating schedule of torpedo practice, exploration of anchorages, and harbor defense duty at ports of the Canal Zone.

		Stingrays have one or more dangerous barbed stingers in the tail, and will use them if molested.
		Finally, the Torpedo is an electric fish, and can generate enough voltage to be dangerous.
		Smaller Atlantic Stingray and larger Southern Stingray may occasionally stray this far north as well.

		Torpedo drops the bikini top, and faints dead away, drifting around the course from the current caused by everyone else.
		Jet Stingray nods slowly to Iris, moving to kneel down slowly, looking to the stands where the three old men that created him are gathered, chuckling to see them acting like they just won a million dollers.

	Navy Matters \| Type 45 Section
		The Horizon Project was a troubled tri-nation collaboration for new air-defence frigate which begun in 1994 and finally cancelled in April 1999, writing off £75-200 million of the UK's investment in feasibility and assessment studies (depending how much "value" is counted as being reused by the Type 45).
		The main anti-submarine weapon was the Lynx helicopter (of which there were two with a double hanger) and together with the Stingray torpedo, formed a capable system.
		Two additional fixed torpedo tubes were added, two single 30mm guns were installed on mountings abreast of the funnel and the bow-mounted Type 2050 sonar replaced the hull-mounted Type 2016.

		GEC operated a number of “defence” weapon “design” scams, and Stingray was by far the most surreal.
		Everyone else on these committees was so jealous of the fact that my inventions, not theirs, were being funded, that they were determined that anyone else on these projects would be salaried, but not me, the inventor.
		I would be paid to do nothing on Stingray, and be paid nothing to work for the same government on Catt Spiral projects.

		Using Phoenixius' trimarine hull technology and various new stealth and offensive capabilities, this battleship is a force to be reckoned with.
		To improve its stealth characteristics, the engines are exhausted under the outriggers, and various sections of the ship have been designed to reflect radar radiation in all directions, reducing its radar signature.
		Its weapons are concealed within the hull of this ship, which incidentally has two inner hulls to minimise torpedo damage, and so detection of its hidden idetity is extremley difficult.

		Until the Shkval rocket-propelled torpedo entered service, the only nuclear torpedo in Soviet service that did not have a conventional variant was the 53-58, which was withdrawn from service after a limited production run due to reliability and performance problems.
		Since the early 1960s the Russian Navy has used standardized torpedo nuclear warheads capable of being fitted to service torpedoes in lieu of conventional warheads.
		The chart below lists the characteristics of a select number of recent Soviet/Russian torpedo designs to illustrate their potential performance and is intended to be representative rather than comprehensive.

		One of the most significant exercises was the deployment of the Stingray torpedo by Merlin.
		A total of eight torpedoes, each fitted with telemetry systems instead of live warheads, were successfully dropped during the trials.
		In similar trials last year, Merlin was so successful in localising the target submarine and prosecuting its simulated attacks that the submarine commander was heard to comment that he was glad that the Merlin will be on the same side when it enters into full service!
