Forward Torpedo Room on USS Cavalla

You are viewing torpedo tubes #3 & #4.  Tubes 5 & 6 are below the deck plates. Tubes 1 & 2 were removed in the early 50's during her conversion to an SSK. The tubes were removed to make room for additional sonar gear.

The torpedo on the immediate right is a MK45 ASTOR. The ASTOR was a nuclear tipped Anti Ship Torpedo. To the right of the MK45 is a MK16 Torpedo, these were the type carried later in World War II. The green torpedo to the left is a MK14 torpedo which was carried during the first part of World War II
