Starting points for interwar torpedo research

Three edited studies provide entry points into British procurement, submarine innovation, and anti-submarine warfare.

Question

Which books explain interwar torpedo technology and tactics?

Short answer

Begin with edited studies of naval technology, interwar military innovation, and twentieth-century Royal Navy development.

Notes

No single book supplies a complete interwar torpedo history. Technology and Naval Combat in the Twentieth Century and Beyond contains a chapter on British naval procurement and technological change. Military Innovation in the Interwar Period adds a comparative chapter on submarine innovation in Germany, Britain, and the United States. The Royal Navy, 1930-2000 contributes an anti-submarine-warfare chapter. Together, they provide routes into weapons, platforms, procurement, and tactics.
