	Torpedo
		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.
		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's capabilities were not recognized by the Allies until one was captured intact in 1943.
		A 17.7 inch (450 mm) version designated the Type 97 torpedo was later developed for use by midget submarines, but it was not a success and was replaced operationally by the Type 91 torpedo.

	Type 97 torpedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 97 was a 17.7 inch (45.0 cm) diameter torpedo of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

	Japanese Torpedoes
		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.
		An older torpedo that was still being used in some land-based JNAF torpedo-bomber squadrons at the beginning of the war, including some of the units ('Nells') which attacked and sank Repulse and the Prince of Wales.

		At 1058 the torpedo planes were in position and a coordinated attack was begun on the carrier that had launched planes.
		The torpedo planes also made use of convenient cloud cover in rendezvousing and retiring, and the fact that none was shot down was attributed largely to weather conditions.
		The other, of a type not specified, was hit directly by a 5-inch shell and plunged into the sea despite the failure of the shell to explode.

		Some types required did not exist anymore, at least not in flying condition, and the ones that still could fly were simply not up to the hard use required for filming nor numerous enough for the movie.
		The Japanese types that Canary needed to replicate consisted of the Mitsubishi Navy type Zero Carrier Fighter (A6M), the Nakajima Navy Type 97 Carrier Attack Bomber (B5N) and the Aichi Navy Type 99 Carrier bomber (D3A).
		The fighter was designated a type Zero fighter because it entered service in the Japanese calendar year 2600 (1940), the Type 97 torpedo bomber entered service in 2597 (1937) and the Type 99 dive bomber entered service in the year 2599 (1939).

		Three torpedo planes approached from the starboard bow and two from the port bow, gliding in at 200 knots and releasing from 200 feet altitude at an average range of 800 to 900 yards.
		At any rate, all the enemy's torpedo planes were turned back or shot down, and about 6 of his dive bombers were destroyed before reaching the release point, so that approximately 30 dive bombers remained for our ships to contend with.

	USS Ward DD-139 / APD-16 Ship's History
		The flush-deck four stack destroyers were already a type of ship considered to be a jack of all trades, but they would push this definition farther; becoming minelayers, seaplane tenders, and troop transports while retaining their destroyer heritage and missions.
		In June of 1942 two of her four torpedo launchers were removed and soon replaced by four K-guns, which allowed WARD to throw depth charges out to the side as well as from the rear to improve the pattern and effectiveness of her bombs.
		The Type A was a battery-powered two-man submersible armed with two torpedoes that had been built in the late 1930's.

		Matsumura was the Hiryu torpedo bomber squadron leader (buntaicho) during the attack, and it is believed that his back-seater (a guy named Oku) took the actual photo.
		But the Type 97 torpedo these submarines used was a 17.7" diameter miniaturized version of the famous Type 93 Long Lance.
		It is true that the Type 97 was known to have problems with leaky oxygen flasks, meaning that the minisubs would probably have topped off their torps' flasks with a shot of compressed air before leaving the mother sub.

		I hadn't mustered the bucks to pick up the torpedo Kate yet, when somehow I had the good fortune, among a group of truly excellent modelers, to win the Roll Models online contest for which it was the featured prize.
		Deck planking was usually sealed during installation by layers of manila fibers impregnated with tar, known as "oakum".
		Believe it or not, we still had some sections of this type of planking on the deck of the Coast Guard Icebreaker that I served on during the late '80s.

	Hasegawa 1/72 B5N2 Kate
		Nakajima's B5N was an answer to a 1935 requirement for a naval torpedo bomber that could also perform long range reconnaissance.
		Kates were responsible for much of the devastation created at Pearl Harbor as they and their 'Long Lance' torpedoes were most effective against the battleships moored next to Ford Island.
		Kates were used throughout the early and middle stages of the war, only replaced late in their career by the larger and faster Jill and Grace.
