Thomas:

I served for 24 years as a torpedoman in the U.S. Navy and never heard of a radio-
controlled torpedo. The Mark 24 aerial "mine" (torpedo) was the first passive-acoustic torpedo developed. Later the submarine-launched Mark 27 passive-acoustic
torpedo was issued to the fleet. About the same time (before cessation of hostilities in the Pacific) the Mark 28 passive-acoustic torpedo was introduced. It
was almost a copy of the German T5 passive-acoustic weapon.

Wire-guided torpedoes are use today by most navies....

Later,

ROBERT M.
