[QUOTE=Daniel Prates;1693087]No dude, what i'm talking about is a simple question: can the explosion of a torpedo interfere with another torpedo coming just behind it? Was that a historicaly documented concern for skippers?[/QUOTE]

No. The answer is a simple no. As for being a concern for skippers, the effects of oneTorpedo on otherTorpedos fired in a salvo were not a concern as has been posted here below, the fastest torpedos could be fired was six to ten seconds, (not the verbal orders but the actual firing) by the time six seconds has gone by, the distance between the fish was too great to say, bump the next torpedo off course much less cause other fish to explode. I haven't read everything yet but I've read quite a lot and have never come across this as a worry for the Fleet boats.
