Lockwood's men replaced the TNT in several warheads with cinder concrete and attached the normal contact mechanism. Test torpedoes were then dropped 90 feet along a wire suspended from a crane into an empty drydock where they landed squarely on steel plates. A direct, 90-degree hit produced a dud seven out of 10 times--a 70 percent failure rate almost two years into the war.
I found this page and thought it might be helpful to you guys who are modding torpedo failure rates:
