Airlock

An airlock is a room or compartment which permits passage between environments of differing atmospheric pressure or composition, while minimizing the changing of pressure or composition between the differing environments.

See Torpedo tube and Airlock

Block and tackle

A block and tackle or only tackle is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift heavy loads.

See Torpedo tube and Block and tackle

Cruise missile

A cruise missile is an unmanned self-propelled guided vehicle that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path and whose primary mission is to place an ordnance or special payload on a target.

See Torpedo tube and Cruise missile

Fire-control system

A fire-control system (FCS) is a number of components working together, usually a gun data computer, a director and radar, which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system to target, track, and hit a target.

See Torpedo tube and Fire-control system

Force

A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces.

See Torpedo tube and Force

G-force

The g-force or gravitational force equivalent is mass-specific force (force per unit mass), expressed in units of standard gravity (symbol g or g0, not to be confused with "g", the symbol for grams).

See Torpedo tube and G-force

Interlock (engineering)

An interlock is a feature that makes the state of two mechanisms or functions mutually dependent.

See Torpedo tube and Interlock (engineering)

List of torpedoes by name

The list of torpedoes by name includes all torpedoes operated in the past or present. Torpedo tube and list of torpedoes by name are torpedoes.

See Torpedo tube and List of torpedoes by name

A naval mine is a self-contained explosive device placed in water to damage or destroy surface ships or submarines.

See Torpedo tube and Naval mine

Power cable

A power cable is an electrical cable, an assembly of one or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall sheath.

See Torpedo tube and Power cable

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

See Torpedo tube and Pressure

Submarine

A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.

See Torpedo tube and Submarine

The New York Times

The New York Times (NYT) is an American daily newspaper based in New York City.

See Torpedo tube and The New York Times

Torpedo

A modern torpedo is an underwater ranged weapon launched above or below the water surface, self-propelled towards a target, and with an explosive warhead designed to detonate either on contact with or in proximity to the target. Torpedo tube and torpedo are torpedoes.

Type 212A submarine

The Type 212A is a class of diesel-electric submarine developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) for the German Navy (German: U-Boot-Klasse 212 A), and the Italian Navy where it is known as the Todaro class.

Valve

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.
