Rainer, et al:

Thanks for the kind words.......

I could whack away at this keyboard for hours of explanation about U.S. torpedo
problems during WWII, but I'm not up to it. So, I'll offer some very interesting websites that can explain how the problems were corrected and much more:

1. U.S. SUBMARINE HISTORY
[www.sid-ss.net]

2. U.S. TORPEDO TROUBLES -
Part 1 - [www.military.com]
Part 2 - [www.military.com]

3. MK14 TORPEDO, WARHEAD, MK6 EXPLODER MECHANISM
[www.bowfin.org] systems/torpedo troubles/torpedo/
torpedo troubles.htm

4. TORPEDO TUBES
[www.bowfin.org] systems/torpedo troubles torpedo/
torpedo tubes.htm

5. U.S. SUBMARINE WAR AGAINST JAPAN
[www.battlebelow.com]

6. ADMIRAL CHARLES LOCKWOOD
[www.diodon349.com]

7. RADAR PICKET SUBS
[www.chinfo.navy.mil]

I hope this info is as interesting to you, as it is to me.

Best Regards,

ROBERT M.
