		The first torpedoes driven at specific targets were spar torpedoes; the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet (12 m) long projecting forward underwater from the bow of the attacking vessel.
		A derivative of the compressed-air torpedo was the steam torpedo.
		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.

	Type 93 torpedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 93 was a 610 mm (24 inch) diameter torpedo of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		A 17.7 inch (450 mm) version designated the type 97 torpedo was later developed for use by midget submarines, but was not a success and was replaced operationally by the type 91 torpedo.
		In surface battles, by the time the deck-mounted torpedo tubes were reloaded ready to launch a second wave of torpedoes, allied ships were close enough to able to use their torpedoes as well and the advantage of reloads was reduced.

		Torpedoes are weapons that may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and from unmanned naval mines.
		They are also used as parts of other weapons; the Mark 46 torpedo used by the United States becomes the warhead section of the ASROC (Anti-Submarine ROCket) and the Captor mine uses a submerged sensor platform that releases a torpedo when a hostile contact is detected.
		During this time, the torpedo boat invented by John Ericsson gained recognition for its efficiency, and the first torpedo boat destroyers were built to counter it.

		The Type VIIC was the workhorse of the German U-boat force, with 568 commissioned from 1940 to 1945.
		The Type VIIC was an effective fighting machine and was seen almost everywhere U-boats operated, although their range was not as great as that of the larger IX types.
		The type VIID boats, designed in 1939 and 1940, were a longer version of the VIIC with three banks of five vertical tubes just aft of the conning tower, rather like a modern ballistic missile submarine, except that these tubes ejected mines rather than missiles.

		The Bangalore Torpedo, invented in 1912, is a cylindrical explosive device on the end of a pipe used to clear minefields and barbed wire.
		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 augur.
		The first torpedoes driven at specific targets were spar torpedoes; the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet long projecting forward under water from the bow of the attacking vessel.

		The wings are of a mid-wing cantilever monoplane type.
		After sending off these details of the Type 150, the Bristol design team came to the conclusion that it would be possible to meet both of the Air Ministry's specifications by a single aircraft evolved from the Blenheim, and immediately prepared a new design outline, the Type 152.
		The Type 152 was more attractive to the Air Ministry, but it was considered that a crew of four was essential, and the accommodation was redesigned to this end.

		Torpedo tactics and night combat were seized upon as one way to whittle down the American battle line as it made its way across the Pacific.
		The result was that Japanese torpedoes showed a steady progression of improvements throughout the 1930's, culminating in the devlopment of the famous 'Long Lance' in 1935.

		The U. Navy first experimented with aerial torpedoes in late 1917, when a 400-pound dummy torpedo was dropped from a seaplane and ricocheted back into the air, almost hitting the plane.
		The Japanese 17.7-inch Type 91 Mod 3 aerial torpedo used early in the war was 17’ 4" long and weighted 1,872 pounds with a 529-pound warhead.
		Although Avengers participated in torpedo attacks on Japanese capital ships during the latter half of the war, the poor reliability of the Mark XIII aerial torpedo resulted in relatively few hits.

		While offering more protection, the nets were cumbersum to use, requiring long anchor lines and tenders to both put them im place after a ship had moored and remove them before she could move.
		The guidelines stated in that memo were not just meant for Pearl Harbor however; two days later he sent a similar memo out to the commandants of different naval districts around the world (read here).
		The topic was revisited again at the middle of the year in a memo dated June 13, 1941 and we can see that intelligence of the Japanese effort to produce shallow dropping torpedos had not yet reached the American Naval command.

	Torpedo Summary
		This type of torpedo was used in the American Civil War by the Confederate submersible H.L. Hunley to sink the U.S.S. Housatonic in 1864.

		Notes: This was a modified Type 95 Mod 1 torpedo developed because of troubles with the "first air vessel" in the former.

	Underwater Projectile Hits
		As to stability, long, pointed windscreens, which are good for minimum drag in air, are poison under water as they add considerable surface area to the sideways forces on the nose and they also move the forces much farther from the center of gravity, giving them added leverage.
		The Japanese took this to the extreme in their Type 88 and later Type 91 AP shell designs with their break-away windscreens and "cap head" noses.
		This might have made USA projectiles tend to be able to move farther under water, too, but, as with the German AP projectiles, their fuze delays would stop most from going very far after hitting the water.
