Original Pre-WWII US Navy Mark 14 Torpedo 2" Brass Pendant
Very nice original US Navy item. A 2" torpedo made in gilt brass. Nicely made and appears to be a production piece. Fitted with a small suspension ring for wear. Likely a pre-WWII item since it is brass and the Mark 14 was in service from 1931.
The Mark 14 torpedo was the United States Navy's standard submarine-launched anti-ship torpedo of World War II. From December 1941 to November 1943 the Mark 14 and the destroyer-launched Mark 15 torpedo had numerous technical problems that took almost two years to fix. After the fixes, the Mark 14 played a major role in the devastating blow U.S. Navy submarines dealt to the Japanese naval and merchant marine forces during the Pacific War.
By the end of World War II, the Mark 14 torpedo was a reliable weapon ultimately remaining in service for almost 40 years in the U.S. Navy, and even longer with other navies.
