		Rattlesnake class 'torpedo boat catcher', a class of 17 large torpedo boats - the first precursors of detroyers to be built as a class, rather than as single ships.
		Type 1934 displaced over 3,000 tons their armament was no better than many smaller classes.
		Type 45 or Daring Class destroyers which will displace roughly 7,200 tonnes and are predicted to be the most advanced surface warships in the world when they enter service at the end of the decade.

	USS LIBERTY Court of Inquiry Testimony Concerning Torpedo Attack
		The torpedo hit, it seemed like it was quite a while before the torpedo actually hit and the time we were told to prepare ourselves.
		We were told to brace ourselves for a second torpedo attack, and the only thing we could do was go inside and find a couple of the wounded on the floor to find places where they weren't wounded and lay across their bodies so in case the torpedo did hit they wouldn't be thrown around.
		But when the torpedo hit, the logroom in damage control central was in a shambles, the safe door blew open, logs went flying off the shelves, we were knocked on the deck, and shortly thereafter the order was passed down to set the destruction bill.

	Zulu Class - Project 611
		Type XXI U-boats were the first submarines designed to operate entirely submerged, rather than as surface ships that could submerge as a temporary, awkward mode of operation.
		The German Type XXI submarine was capable of 18 kts submerged, could dive to nearly 1,000 feet and included a schnorchel (snorkel) mast to allow for diesel operations and battery charging while submerged.
		The Zulu was a true Type XXI, equipped with a snorkel, capable of 16 knots submerged, and possessing the size, habitability, and range necessary for long range, blue water interdiction operations.

	Chinese Defence Today - 53-65KE Anti-Ship Torpedo
		The PLA Navy received an unknown number of the Russian 53-65KE wave-homing anti-ship torpedo along with its purchase of four Kilo class submarines in the 1990s.
		The torpedo is fitted with a unique wave-homing system, which enables the torpedo to chase the tail marks of surface ships.
		The torpedo’s course, depth, and roll control system provides for two-plane manoeuvring of the torpedo and steers it into the proximity fuse actuation zone or ensures a direct hit on the target.

	Kaiten Suicide Submarines
		I-53 was also a wartime design, having been launched from Kure Naval Dockyard in 1943, and commisioned in February 1944.
		Under his command, I-53 took part in the second Kaiten mission, "Kongo." She was unable to launch any of the four kaitens she carried and was forced to return to Japan with her dissappointed crew.
		I-53 was subsequently scuttled by the U.S. Navy off of Goto, Japan, on April 1, 1946.

	Russian Federation Arsenal
		The missile is launched via a 66 centimeter torpedo tube, broaches the surface, and uses its solid-fuel booster to fly to the suspected location of the enemy submarine.
		The torpedo has either a 100 kilogram high explosive warhead (termed the Veder by the Russians), or a nuclear warhead of unknown yield (referred to as the Vodopod).
		Soviet submarines routinely carried nuclear torpedoes, as evidenced by two accidents; one in December 1972 was caused by a radiation leak from such a torpedo, while another incident off Sweden in October 1981 saw traces of Uranium-238 detected, pointing towards the presence of nuclear weapons by the Whisky attack sub.

	Japanese Navy Ship Types--Kaiten type Human Torpedoes
		Proposals for human torpedoes were made in 1943 and were approved in early 1944, initially with provision for the survival of the operator.
		The Type 2, featuring hydrogen-peroxide as oxidizer, was not built in any quantity but some 50 of the less-ambitious Type 4's were reportedly built in 1945.
		On 20 November 1944, a submarine-launched "Kaiten" penetrated the U.S. anchorage at Ulithi, in the Caroline Islands, and sank the oiler USS Mississinewa (AO-59).

	Torpedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the term "torpedo" was not coined until 1800, the early submarine Turtle attacked using an explosive very similar in intent and operation to Fulton's "torpedoes." The "Turtle" would dive under a British vessel and attach a bomb by means of an auger.
		This type of towed torpedo, fitted with one of several types of contact fuses, remained in use through the American Civil War.
		Several types of moored underwater torpedoes were manufactured by filling waterproof kegs, casks and demijohns with gunpowder and attaching contact fuses.

		RPK-8 Zapad ASW system, 10 x Type 53 torpedoes in 2 quintuple launchers and one KA-27PL "Helix A" ASW helicopter carried in the aft helicopter hanger.
		However, as Russian aviation cruisers carriy a small airforce of 19 KA-27PL ASW helicopters, the combination of the two types of vessels would provide good all round capabilities.
		With the addition of other smaller vessels providing additional Asuw, AAW and ASW capabilities, the Moscow-class would be more than sufficient for aviation cruiser escort - in which case the larger and more "all round" Ushakov-class vessels could be used as "center pieces" in task forces of their own.
