I wish to object. All the stories about problems with the Mk 14 torpedo, and especially the Mk VI magnetic exploder, are lies. There is nothing wrong with that device. I know because Admiral Christie said so. The fact that he was part of the team that developed it has nothing to do with his opinion, and nothing to do with the fact that his command in Fremantle held onto the Mk VI for five months after Admiral Lockwood ordered them disabled.

So there.
