This was an improved version of the T5 Zaunkoenig torpedo with better tuned microphones etc so as not to blow up in the wake of a ship .
Designation TXI
type G7es
apperatus number 46
codename zaunkoenig
diameter 53.46 cm
lenght 716.3 cm
weight 1,495 kg
motor electric
motor hp 55
rpm 1,350
speed 24 knts
range 57 km
warhead charge 274 kg
detonatorTZ 5 with Pi 4c
steering program accoustic self-steering
I believe that this torpedo was issued in very, very small numbers on a test trial basis as I think that the u-534 when sunk carried 2 of them . The u-534 was found to contain 13 torpedos plus various AA ammo , all the torpedos except 2 and all AA ammo was disposed of . I think these 2 torps that were saved are the type T XI
