This is completely incorrect. The *only* difference between the mark 14 and the mark 23 was the removal of the speed selection system. This was done to make the torpedo cheaper and easier to manufacture.
This can easilly be verified as far as tmo is concerned by checking values in Torpedoes_US.sim, they are identical with one exception. I noticed that the mark23 has a slightly higher chance of depth keeping problems. This is probably because either the mark 14 or 23 got changed and ducimus forgot to change the other value.
