I agree the 21" Type 95 was woefully inadequate for submarine use. The unmovable fact of history is that they used the 21" Type 95 in submarines but the Capital ships who had torpedoes carried the 24" Type 93 torpedo and had done so for 10 years. The arrogance of the Empire certainly contributed to a lack of innovation.
