14-in Fiume Mark V Torpedo[1]

The 14-in Fiume Mark V Torpedo was an early torpedo manufactured by the Whitehead & Co..

It was found to be greatly superior to the 14-in Fiume Mark IV torpedo, but inferior to the current R.G.F. Mark IX torpedoes overall in that although it had a 100 pound warhead as opposed to 90 pounds, it was ran slower and was not as quick at recovering from a dive.[2]
