United States Navy Mark 15 Torpedo (2 Pieces) (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store

This item is limited to 3 per household.

-Mk.15 is a surface-mounted anti-ship attack torpedo operated by the US Navy during World War II.
-Mk.15 is a long-range torpedo with a large warhead mounted on a submarine-mounted Mk.14, which is the main torpedo of the U.S. Navy during World War II along with Mk.13 and Mk.14. , About 9,700 were produced.
-The early version of Mk.15 had problems with adjusting depth and magnetic fuze similarly to Mk14, but it was quite difficult because there were few surface battles in the Pacific War, and it was difficult to distinguish the outcome of battle from artillery. Although no problem was discovered, defects were discovered during the night battle of Bella Bay in August 1943, such as the fact that an explosion did not occur even after a hit, and the device was improved.
