Mark 14/23 Torpedo Manual

I took a really good look at this.

It was funny as I looked at this, how I was reminded of the maintenance manuals I use for maintaining the aircraft I work on. This manual makes those things look like jokes. Everything is clearly depicted and explained.

It was like I was reading a manual for something designed to last a long time....

Then I remembered I was looking at the operations and maintenance manual for torpedoes, something that had a life span of several months at best.

Everything seen in this book, ended up getting blown to smitherens on the side of a ship, or ended up sinking to the bottom of the ocean as a failed shot. This excepting the practice head and it's components.

Wow, it really brings home what we humans will do to destroy things and kill one another.
