		The Type 95 also had by far the largest warhead of any submarine torpedo, initially 893 pounds (405 kg), increased to 1210 pounds (550 kg) late in the war.
		All Japanese torpedoes made during the war used Japanese Type 97 explosive, a mixture of 60% TNT and 40% hexanitrodiphenylamine.
		Most importantly, the Type 95 used a simple contact exploder, and was therefore far more reliable than its American counterpart, the Mark 14, until the latter was improved in late-1943.

		Torpedoes are weapons that may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and from unmanned naval mines.
		The first torpedoes driven at the target were spar torpedoes – the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet long projecting forward under the water from 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 calibre 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.
		A 21 inch (533 mm) version for use by submerged submarines was designated the type 95 torpedo and was highly successful, but did not result in the advantage it might have owing to the Japanese tactic of using submarines to engage warships rather than merchantmen.

	Torpedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A modern torpedo, historically called a self-propelled torpedo, is a self-propelled guided projectile that (after being launched above or below the water surface) operates underwater and is designed to detonate on contact or in proximity to a target.
		Torpedoes are weapons that may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and from unmanned naval mines.
		As self-propelled torpedoes were developed the tethered variety was referred to as "stationary torpedo" and later "mine".

		The Type 93 was a 610 mm (24 inch) diameter torpedo of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		Too large to fit in the standard 21-inch torpedo tubes on submarines, the Type 93 was usually launched from 24-inch (610mm) tubes mounted on the decks of surface ships, although some submarines also had deck-mounted launchers.
		The Type 93's capabilities were not recognized by the Allies until one was captured intact in 1943.

		With the older, straight-running torpedoes, it had been necessary to aim the submarine at the target—or, really, at where the target would be by the time the torpedo reached it.
		A considerable improvement over the old Mark-10, the Mark-14 was a wet-heater type, could travel at 46 knots, carried a 600-pound warhead (later increased to 660 pounds), and had a range of 4,500 yards.
