Well they weren't torpedo tubes then.

^ indeed, Hms Tiger's torpedos were from 'submerged' torpedo launchers: a second photo (below) shows the triple round ports not there:

. after 1918 conversion w/o misleading ports.

I was looking at this photo instead of the other above; hence my own confusion. I knew it was a WWI battle cruiser. and had the small round porthole/lifeboat/6" MK VII gun sponson configuration immediately....just couldn't figure out the three big tube looking things...well done U-Crank!

Harvs · 06-12-15, 10:03 PM

^ looking at the full picture (1st) the 3 ports are now looking a lot like life rafts

Catfish · 06-13-15, 03:49 AM

Whence my first guess N. carolina, i thought it to be life rafts.
Torpedo tubes do not make much sense, high up there?

^ i was in the army, nothing made much sense
