Royal Navy torpedoes in the early-war reliability crisis

Did Royal Navy torpedoes have the same early-war problems as American and German weapons?

They had some problems, but the British and Italian difficulties were less severe than the major American and German torpedo failures.

Royal Navy torpedo trouble belonged to a wider early-war reliability problem, although the severity differed by service. British and Italian weapons had faults that appear less serious than the failures experienced by the United States and Germany. No comparable opening-war Dutch problem is identified in this exchange. The familiar American and German torpedo crises therefore should not be generalized without checking each navy's weapons and experience.
