Page created. I will work on this article tonight and add specific examples deployed by any fleets or militaries that I can find. Marcus Finch 17:51:42, 2005-09-08 (UTC)

I just added much of the information from my old article guided torpedo to this article; it is now a little more complete. --MKnight9989 12:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

There was a U.S. torpedo designed during WWII as well; I know, because my father worked on it; he moved to Florida for a period during the war to work on it (specifically, for its testing). I don't know what its model number was, though likely it was the following http://www.uboat.net/allies/technical/fido.htm as my father worked for GE, and was expert at magnetostriction. My memory is that he said that it only did not see much use in WWII in that there weren't any Japanese ships to sink by the time it reached the Pacific theater; how true that is is not for me to say. He told some other wonderful stories of its testing in Florida, but that's probably not germane to an encyclopedia. --JimGettys (talk) 21:49, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Seemingly contradicting information
In the main body of the article it says "On the Allied side, the US Navy developed the Mark 24 mine, and was actually an aircraft launched, anti-submarine passive acoustic homing torpedo. The first production Mk. 24s were delivered to the U.S. Navy in March 1943, and it scored its first verified combat kills in May 1943." Yet under "Captured technology" it states "The capture of U-505 of 4 June 1944 marked the first time that allied forces gained access to this technology." As these two statements contradict each other, I feel some clarification needs to be added.Shion-ko (talk) 02:49, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
