Welcome aboard alpha9 :up:

go with the links JC has posted:up:

also though once youve sort of oriented
yourself here at SS its a good idea to
use the forum search tool prior to posting
a question as a lot of stuff has been asked
before and the answers are already out there.

however that said this is a super helpful
place and feel free to post your questions
anytime, im sure you will find help here.

Guys whats the defrence between Electric and Steam Torpedo?

[Powerthighs]

Steam torpedoes leave wakes that can be seen on the surface. Enemy ships may spot the wakes and attempt to manuever to avoid them. Electric torpedoes were wakeless. The electric torpedoes weren't available until later in the war.

If you're not aware there were serious problems with the US MK14 torpedo until mid-to-late 1943. Wikipedia or searching this forum should find you the specifics.
