Hi Dan,

Multiple types of detonators were used with the G7e. The standard type could be detonated by contact or by detecting the magnetic field generated by its target. The method was selected before the torpedo was fired. During parts of the war the magnetic option had to be disabled as it wasn't reliable.

You got mail.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
