Type-95 Torpedo

The Type-95 is the monster of the Soviet torpedo force. Fired from special oversized torpedo tubes, they are designed to tear the bottom out of a super carrier, or virtually vaporize an escort. Their homing is based on finding the disturbed water in the wake of a ship, and following it into the props of the target. This makes it very difficult to decoy, and a real menace to surface shipping. Western naval analysts have treated it like a water-borne cruise missile. A very deadly weapon!
