Robert Gannon's 1996 Hellions of the Deep covers American torpedo development and its wartime problems, including the Mark 14. Colin Baxter's 2018 The Secret History of RDX addresses the explosive behind Torpex. A 1947 US Navy Bureau of Ordnance report on torpedoes provides another suggested source. Its former online link no longer worked when checked during the stream, and its mixture of historical information and retrospective recollection warrants care.
