The Mark 14 torpedo and responsibility for inadequate testing

Does everyone dislike the Mark 14 torpedo?

Views differ: one response condemns the early torpedo, while another reserves the criticism for inadequate testing and the refusal to accept reports of failure.

The early Mark 14 draws two responses: condemnation of the weapon itself and criticism focused on those responsible for testing it. The latter view faults inadequate testing and the refusal to accept reports that the torpedo was not working. Another participant still condemns the early weapon directly. Admiral King's threats are recalled as the pressure eventually brought against those resisting the failure reports.
