IJN Type 91 torpedo mods.

[XabbaRus]

Any details on the mod the IJN made to the Type-91 torpedo so it could be launched into the shallow waters of Pearl without hitting the bottom.

Having a look but no luck.

According to the movie (:rotfl they had small fins added to it.

The resulting level flight of the torpedoes helped keep them from diving too deeply into the mud (but, despite these modifications, some Japanese torpedoes did indeed dive to the bottom and several remain unaccounted for).

YEa I was looking for drawings and diagrams.

That movie was on TV the other night. A one critic said Titanic meets Tora Tora Tora.

I saw a documentary about the attack on pearl harbour.
but re-created with experiments like the torpedo modification and the IJN midget submarines that where present.
