Hi Rainer,
Many thanks. I assumed the modification had to be ‘make the boat fit the torpedo’ rather than ‘make torpedoes to fit the boat’ but I had never heard of the solution.

Thomas, my question was addressed well by Rainer. The subs that joined the Allied war effort from occupied navies were most welcome, but to be effective they needed to carry their primary offensive weapon. Your earlier thread made me realise that some of these boats were not able to use the standard RN torpedo, and I couldn’t envisage the RN developing, testing and producing a handful of torpedoes to different sizes.

Regards,

Bruce
