Page created. I will work on this article tonight and add specific examples deployed by any fleets or militaries that I can find. Marcus Finch 17:51:42, 2005-09-08 (UTC)
I just added much of the information from my old article guided torpedo to this article; it is now a little more complete. --MKnight9989 12:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
There was a U.S. torpedo designed during WWII as well; I know, because my father worked on it; he moved to Florida for a period during the war to work on it (specifically, for its testing). I don't know what its model number was, though likely it was the following http://www.uboat.net/allies/technical/fido.htm as my father worked for GE, and was expert at magnetostriction. My memory is that he said that it only did not see much use in WWII in that there weren't any Japanese ships to sink by the time it reached the Pacific theater; how true that is is not for me to say. He told some other wonderful stories of its testing in Florida, but that's probably not germane to an encyclopedia. --JimGettys (talk) 21:49, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
