Description
"America entered the war with torpedoes far inferior to those of the enemy, and the fault lay squarely with the United States Bureau of Ordnance. It was ineffectual in research and development, inept in testing. It was inadequate in manufacturing, and feeble in its supervision of Newport. It was wanting in collegiality with the rest of the Navy, and it failed to trust those fighting under the Pacific surface."
Robert Gannon, Hellions of the Deep: The Development of American Torpedoes in World War II, Penn State Press, University Park, PA, 1996, page 202.
