Type 95 torpedo
The Type 95 torpedo was a torpedo used by submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.
It was based on the Type 93 torpedo but mod 1 had a smaller and mod 2 had a larger warhead, shorter range and a smaller diameter. It was intended to be fired from a standard torpedo tube of a submerged submarine.
Its range was at, or at,
which was about three times the range of the American Mark 14 at the same speed.
The Type 95 was the fastest torpedo in common use by any navy at the time. Its warhead size was the largest of any submarine torpedo, and second only to the Type 93 used by Japanese surface ships. Its engine was a kerosene-oxygen wet-heater rather than the compressed air used by most torpedo types at the time.
