Thomas:

As far as tube loading the Mark XV torpedo aft is concerned, go to:

[www.maritime.org]

The "mods" to the Mark XV torpedo included:

1. Removal of the "T"-shaped guide stud and replacing it with a flat submarine tube type.
2. Installing the warhead from a Mark 14 Mod 3A (which is shorter, but using the
same Mark VI Exploder Mechanism.)
3. Install a special set of side gears in the afterbody in order to have the gyro
setting spindle socket line up with the submarine's gyro setting gear. (The destroyers's gyro setting is done from the bottom of the torpedo's afterbody.)
4.The speed setting on the Mark XV is set at "High" prior to tube loading.

That's all there is to it.......

Regards,

ROBERT M.
