		Prior to the invention of the self-propelled naval torpedo, the term "torpedo" was applied to any number of different types of explosive devices, generally having the property of being secret or hidden, including devices we would today call booby traps, land mines and naval mines, among others.
		The first torpedoes driven at specific targets were spar torpedoes; the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet (12m) long projecting forward underwater from the bow of the attacking vessel.
		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.

	TORPEDO - Online Information article about TORPEDO
		Now when a torpedo is discharged into the sea from a ship in motion, it has a tendency to deflect owing to the action of the passing water.
		This advance in dimensions has not only given a faster and steadier torpedo, but enabled such a heavy charge of gun-cotton to be carried that its explosion against any portion of a ship would inevitably either sink or disable her.
		Assuming now that the course of the torpedo is diverted by any cause, its axis will move or perform a certain angular motion with regard to the plane of the flywheel, which will have the same result as if we consider the conditions reversed, i.e.

		The quantum torpedo consists of a pressure-molded shell of densified tritanium and duranium foam, trapezoidal in cross section and tapered at the forward end for atmospheric applications.
		If the torpedo is moving at warp and its target drops to impulse, the torpedo will not make a commensurate drop to impulse, since it cannot reestablish its warp sustainer field.
		If the torpedo and the target are both at high impulse, and the target ramps to warp, the torpedo will still have sufficient velocity to reach an effective destruct radius.

	EM PROJECT: Mathew Timney
		Torpedo californica, commonly known as the Pacific electric ray, is a relatively abundant fish that exhibits the peculiar ability to produce electricity for feeding and defense.
		The torpedo ray is usually a charcoal grey color with fl spots (see figure1) and can reach lengths up to 1.3 meters and weights of approximately 40 kilograms (Miller and Lea, 1972) The torpedo is primarily a nocturnal animal that is a top level carnivore with no known predators except man (Love, 1991).
		Although the results of this study do provide a limited ultrastructural knowledge of the electric organ of the torpedo ray, there is still much that can be done to improve upon this study and to provide more information.
