Talk:Type 95 torpedo

Details
I think an actual speed would be helpful, instead of the "fastest torpedo of WWII" bit. How fast is "the fastest"? It says that its range was "three times the range of the Mark 14 torpedo at the same speed", but then it says that it was the "fastest torpedo". What does that mean? That it was capable of a higher speed, but they could reduce the speed to increase range? It can't mean that it had the same top speed if it was "the fastest". Also, is its range three times the Mark 14 at the Mark 14's TOP speed? Or does it go three times further while they are both traveling at a mere 20kts?

I also question that is is "based on" the Type 93 torpedo. Maybe it is scaled down from the same design, but in my mind "based on" means a modification of the Type 93. Being both shorter and narrower suggests that it's an entirely separate design. I guess that's just a matter of preference in wording however. If it is closely "based on" the Type 93, ikt is odd that there is so little info on it, since there is so much about the Type 93 out there.

And last, neither of the links at the bottom is any good. The first doesn't seem to work at all, the second directs you to what appears to be the main page for some university in Hawaii; I see nothing regarding anything military on that page, certainly nothing about Japanese submarine torpedoes of WWII..45Colt 18:16, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
