IJN surface fleet torpedoes MOD

Here is a small mod giving you four types of torpedoes for IJN surface ships:

IJN surface fleet torpedoes :

The type 93 model 1

Propulsion: O2/steam Speed: 38/40/48 knots Range: 40,0-32,0-20,0 km explosive charge : 1,080 lbs. (490 kg) Type 97

Mod 2 dated from 1936 and differed in many areas. The oxygen vessel was made of a deep pressing with one integral end instead of a hollow forging. This construction was followed in all subsequent versions. The bracing ribs of the rear buoyancy chamber were further strengthened and cooling water to the slide valves was increased together with modifications to the buffer chamber, lubrication of the cross-head and group valve gearing.

The type 93 model 2

Propulsion: O2/steam Speed 40/42/50 knots Range: 40,0-32,0-20,0 km explosive charge : 1,080 lbs. (490 kg) Type 97

Mod 3 was designed in 1944 and production started in 1945, but it did not enter service. This mod combined the oxygen vessel and warhead of Mod 1 with the propulsion system of Model 3, described below.

The type 93 model 3

Propulsion: O2/steam Speed: 32/48/50 knots Range: 30,0/25,0/15,0 km explosive charge : 1,720 lbs. (780 kg) Type 97

Mod 3 was designed in 1944 and production started in 1945, but it did not enter service. This mod combined the oxygen vessel and warhead of Mod 1 with the propulsion system of Model 3, described below.

Earlier versions of these torpedoes may be distinguished by their round-nosed heads. Later versions had a more pointed head, developed as a result of tests upon Italian 50 knot torpedoes (probably the 53.3 cm W 270/533.4 x 7.2 Veloce). This gave an extra two knots in speed.

The type F3 experimental

Propulsion: Turbine Speed: 60 knots Range: 8,0 km explosive charge : 1,102 lbs. (500 kg) Type 97

Experimental Turbine powered torpedo. Turbine speed was 17,500 rpm geared down to 1,650 rpm at the propellers. It was found to be difficult to keep this torpedo from breaking surface during its runs and development was stopped prior to the start of the Pacific War.

You also have a few smaller torpedoes to play with from my german to IJ mod
