Скачать или смотреть "It Won't Run Hot": The Mark 14 Torpedo Crisis vs Japan's 20-Mile Monster

In 1941, the US Navy believed its Mark 14 torpedo was the most advanced weapon in the world. In reality, it was a catastrophic failure, while Japan's Type 93 "Long Lance"—a secret 20-mile, oxygen-propelled monster—systematically annihilated Allied fleets. This is the story of the great US torpedo scandal of WW2 and the 20-month delay that cost the US Navy hundreds of thousands of tons in missed shipping.
In this documentary, WW2 Front examines:

How peacetime budget cuts and flawed "bench testing" by the Bureau of Ordnance (BuOrd) led to a weapon that failed over 70% of the time in combat.
A detailed analysis of the Battle of Tassafaronga, where US radar superiority was completely nullified by the long-range, wakeless Type 93 Long Lance.
The friction between the front line (VADM Charles Lockwood) and the rear echelon (BuOrd), which forced COMSUBPAC to conduct its own live-fire tests to prove the Mark 6 exploder was defective.
