The 21-in R.N.T.F. Mark VI Torpedo was a British torpedo being developed at the Royal Navy Torpedo Factory in 1919. The design was abandoned early in testing.

Development and History

Two experimental torpedoes were run at loch Long and from a special tube in Acasta in 1919. "They were failures on trial, and this type will therefore be abandoned."[1]
