Did the Town-class destroyers transferred to the Royal Navy retain American torpedoes with Mark 14-type defects?
Short answerThe Mark 14 was a submarine weapon; the transferred destroyers' exact torpedo designation is uncertain, and their inherited weapons were replaced quickly.
NotesThe inherited torpedoes are said to have been replaced quickly. A participant then challenges the question's Mark 14 designation because it was a submarine weapon. The subsequent recollection offers another mark number for a destroyer weapon but does not settle the identity. A similar warhead fault is asserted, while the exact weapon remains uncertain.
