Thread starter KonTim Start date 23 November Tags coastal defences cold war kingdom of norway kriegsmarine nazi germany royal australian navy royal norwegian army world war i world war ii. Joined 13 August Messages 85 Reaction score Could anyone provide me data and informations about fixed torpedo tubes for shore defence?
I known that they saw action during WWII. In one case the German heavy cruiser "Blucher" sunk by two mm torpedoes fired from an Norwegian shore torpedo launcher during German invasion in Norway. Do they still in use today by any naval force or being proposed by any naval warfare design office? Jemiba Moderator Staff member. Top Contributor. Senior Member.

But stationing such a weapon will be much more difficult, than a missile battery, I think. What i have in mind is the use of torpedoes from fixed buy hidden places in narrow sea straits like those who anyone could find to the Aegean,between islands,rocks islets and rocks.
