According to the report, aside from the Shu Types 84 and 88, there was a faster version of the Shu Type 84 (24 knots) and a heavier version of the Shu Type 88 (90 kg warhead). [9] Specifications: [10] [11] Three versions of Schwartzkopff torpedoes at the Naval Museum of Madrid. The body was constructed from bronze, greatly resistant to corrosion.
Grable was the second of only four gun-type warheads ever detonated (the first was Little Boy, the last two were test firings of the W33; all other atomic weapons were implosion-type weapons). The shell, designated a Mark 9 nuclear weapon, had a diameter of 280 mm (11.02 in), was 1380 mm (54.4 in) long and weighed 364 kg (803 lb).
The Mark 46 torpedo is the backbone of the United States Navy's lightweight anti-submarine warfare torpedo inventory and is the NATO standard. These aerial torpedoes are designed to attack high-performance submarines.
ET-52C torpedoes mounted on the PNS Zulfiquar frigate. Picture taken during the ship's goodwill visit to Malaysia in August 2009. The ET52 is an export version of Yu-7. It shares most of the developmental heritage including the A244/S and the Mk 46 Mod 2, [3] but is most notably different in its mechanism of propulsion: a single propeller driven by electric power.
The Mod 0 warhead contained 1,260 pounds (570 kg) of Torpex (TPX) explosive and at the time was the most powerful conventional submarine torpedo warhead in the world. The TPX explosive in use by the US Navy during WWII was about 75% more powerful by weight (7,405 J/g) than the Japanese Type 95 and Type 97 torpedo explosives (4,370 J/g).
It weighed 650 pounds (290 kg) and carried a 60-pound (27 kg) warhead. Both models could do 8–10 knots (15–19 km/h; 9.2–11.5 mph) with a range of 200 yards (180 m). The United States Navy started using the Whitehead torpedo in 1892 after an American company, E. W. Bliss , secured manufacturing rights. [ 11 ]
The Kh-59 Ovod (Russian: Х-59 Овод 'Gadfly'; AS-13 'Kingbolt') is a Russian cruise missile with a two-stage solid-fuel propulsion system and 200 km range. The Kh-59M Ovod-M (AS-18 'Kazoo') is a variant with a bigger warhead and turbojet engine.
The Bliss-Leavitt Mark 9 torpedo was a Bliss-Leavitt torpedo developed and produced by the E. W. Bliss Company and the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport, Rhode Island in 1915. The Mark 9 was originally intended to be used on battleships. Before the Mark 9 could be issued, however, use of torpedoes on battleships was discontinued and Mark 9 ...
