WW2 British Torpedo Trailer
Torpedoes appeared in the armament of the world's navies as early as the 19th century. Before the beginning of the Second World War, they were rightfully considered a formidable and effective means of combat at sea. And during the war, land- and sea-based aircraft armed with torpedoes were able to carry out a large number of effective attacks. Service on Air Force and Navy torpedo carriers was difficult and dangerous. But, nevertheless, British torpedo boats of the Second World War have a large number of examples of successful combat use in their list. Their attacks on German and Italian ships can rightfully be considered bright pages of military history. It was the raid of British torpedo boats on the Bismarck that became a turning point that played an important role in the British fleet's hunt for this German battleship.
