Talk:Whitehead Mark 1 torpedo

Gyroscope or not
Disputed: The Whitehead Torpedo Mk1 did not have a gyroscope, the Mk3 changed that.

Claim: true for the 140 inches/3.55m aka L/4 one, false for the 197 inches/5m aka L/5 one (it always had a gyroscope). Also, the Mk3 exists only in the 140 inches/3.55m variant
