RE: Unexploded torpedoes part II - to Kurt

<HTML>Thanks for the research.

Though I note that these instances do not indicate that the torpedo itself penetrated into and remained stuck into the target vessel - the implication of your original posting.

Yes, torpedoes struck many targets without detonating, and many times just the force of impact from a high speed (30 - 45 kt) 2000lb or more torpedo would damga a ship or break its hull. But a dud torpedo left sticking into a ship?

But thanks for looking!

Kurt

P.S. i\'m on a trip and may not post as much as usual.</HTML>
