Abstract

793,872. Launching torpedoes. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP NEDERLANDSCHE VEREENIGDE SCHEEPSBOUW BUREAUX. April 20, 1956 [May 23, 1955], No. 14880/55. Class 9(2) Water ejection apparatus for discharging torpedoes from a submarine comprises a water-piston 18 actuated by a compressed air servomotor 23 to discharge water into a horse-shoe shaped. tank 14 and through ports 12 in the torpedo-tubes 6, 9. The tank 14 may be divided into two by a partition 16 and a second water piston may discharge through the part 14a into torpedo tubes 7, 8. The momentum of the water flowing through the torpedo tube causes water to be drawn in through the appropriate valve 27 from the forward section of the shell 5 (which is vented to the sea through holes 28) thus preventing drag on the torpedo as it leaves the tube, reducing water shock, and facilitating the return movement of the water piston.
