H1MIN: IJN TYPE 93 Oxygen Torpedo

Hey dude you haven't upload any in a while.just wondering if you're still alive

The Long lance

u have great skill and great vids

I thought this was some fancy Japanese mechanical pencil at first lol

The Type 93 was a hazard for the user as well as the target in combat. IJN ships carrying them were disabled when they detonated aboard during combat. IJN destroyers and cruisers under air attack had to decide whether or not to jettison torpedoes to prevent them from being detonated during the attack.

Damn son. A video that gets straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. Subscribed!

Hey also had a distinct disadvantage of continuing on past you intended target and subsequently hitting your side own ships and sinking them. I'm lookin at you Mogami. Ultimate lesson of be careful of what you ask for, you might just get it

What is the tactical point of a torpedo that can be used at such long ranges when ships can only be seen at much shorter distances.

AL players: mah 1500 core

I need a 1 min Kamikaze (Divine Wind) vid.

doesn't it still produce carbondioxide from the combustion that can leave a bubble trail?

It also had a large "wander" factor so that long range was useless unless you fired a LOT of them.

Damn, if the Kreigsmarine got this tech earlier.. bet we would hear much2 more crazy GUNTHER stories .

and that SHRIMP Boat captain, whom went on to Lead a Destroyer/ Convoy would hv a harder time.

1920.
100 years back omg

2 feet by 30 feet that's a big torpedo

Japanese developed this torpedo after Britain and maybe the US stopped working on the type . They stopped the oxygen starting explosions by increasing the radius of the bends in the oxygen tubing. Not sure how this worked only that it did. Regards

Man's like Spark Notes for Drachinifel

Not the most exciting of tech.

So why didn't they use H2O2 which would leave no wake at all?

The infamous 'Long Lance'.

How was the pure oxygen injected after deployment??

Could you imagine the bubble trail of older torpedoes coming straight at you. 😳

On Imperial Japanese Navy surface ships the type 93 was held in launchers on deck. When used in combat it was devastating to the enemy. Plus they were a devastating risk to its own ship when when that ship was hit. When type 93 torpedoes aboard were hit they detonated. Destroying the IJN ship carrying them. Its biggest advantage is the US Navy didn’t know of there existence and the type 93’s destructive capability. Halfway through the Solomons campaign the US Navy first salvaged and examined a type 93. After that US navy tactics were developed to minimize the risks and to exploit the type 93’s ability to destroy the ships carrying them.

The beginning of ww3.

you want to tell me that cocomelon has more subs than this masterpiece?

UN: no you don’t want to do this!
Japan: how about I do anyway?

OK-But how is the torpedo able to locate target and how does it control the depth for itself?

2 minute video including more detail would be appreciated 😉

This gives idea for a Anime

Sunk over 60 ships off Australia many very far south

Achievement unlocked: Premature Burial

HESH and HEAT brought me here. Lovely animation and info.

Thank you for not calling it a "long lance" (a name that was never used by the Japanese, but was invented by a historian post-war).

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I never knew torpedoes had engines

When you play World of Warships, japanese ships have very long range torpedos but hopeless guns. You launch your torpedoes and turn away to hide.

The 02 was added after launch? Did I hear right? I’m ready to be corrected but wasn’t the special air checked or added just prior to launch?

これに人乗せたら最強なのでは！？

This was my favourite torpedo of WW2.

its amazing how crappy our technology was at the start of the war, thanks to pearl harbor the U.S is not taking any more sht and has the navy with every super advanced thing available

So much for historical or factual intelligence coming from Wargaming logic is asz backwards. If they was anywhere half accurate then IJN torps would fly over 80 knots the entire map, cannot be spotted , and would auto ammo rack any ship instantly. Long lance is king

Japanese Stealth Torpedoes

Where did the combustion products go?

type 93 oxygen torpedos could cruise stealthier,faster,longer n more powerful than air torpedos at that time

Great weapon for nite attacks but made cruisers & destroyers prone to explode when under air attacks

But, that fish cannot be guided, even long range and also like you say, it's a risky weapon, if not properly handled, it ends up harming your own ship more than the enemy does.

It was influenced by the torpedoes used by the British Nelson class battleships.

It also contributed to basically all japanese surface ships detonating from large stores of compressed oxygen on the deck. None survive today.

IJN torpedo: Famous for being very stealthy and long range can be spotted 2km away in world of warship.
