From Knob Knowledge
The torpedo at the east end of Jenkins Hall is a 21-inch steam torpedo MK 15 on loan from the U.S. Navy. This weapon was the principal torpedo used by destroyers of the U.S. Navy during World War II. A similar type torpedo was used by the submarine forces with marked success against enemy shipping. This weapon, weighing approximately 3100 pounds, is completely automatic. (HN)
