A Princess derivative carrying a torpedo salvo

The Princess counterfactual develops into a proposal for a large aircraft carrying several torpedoes against a warship. Converting the airliner to a bomber would normally involve additional fuel tanks, but its enormous carrying capacity also invites a substantial weapon load. One suggested arrangement rolls torpedoes out of the aircraft and uses parachutes and a trailing line to control their entry into the water. A spread of six weapons is imagined against Bismarck. The suggested torpedo sizes vary between standard destroyer weapons and larger alternatives, so this remains an exploration of possible adaptations. The large flying boat would itself be a conspicuous target and is rejected for a confined harbour attack. That mission would still favour a smaller Swordfish or Albacore equivalent, potentially carrying more torpedoes with the new engines.
