Or it could simply be an ullage issue, and the expulsion of the torpedo plays the same role as an ullage motor. EDIT: this makes me wonder if a torpedo like the Black Shark, with an Al-AgO battery, could have a swim-out feature with 650 mm tubes. IIRC, it needs seawater to start the engine as a safety measure, so it would be hard to manage it from a 533 mm tube. |

Otto Fuel II has a very high flash point (130'C/266'F) and a very low vapor pressure.....
It's actually hard to get Otto Fuel to burn... |

There were lots of stories about guys from the weps shop smuggling out pints of Otto Fuel just before a long weekend. |
