T11 torpedo

T11 torpedo

The T11 was a torpedo developed for German U-boats during World War II. The torpedo was electric and had an effective range of 5700 meters at a speed of 24 knots. This torpedo employed acoustic, passive homing to find its target after a straight run of 400 meters. This evolution of the G7es torpedo was created to counter the "Foxer" allied noisemaker countermeasure. This weapon was never actually employed in wartime as Germany had surrendered by the time development was fully completed.
