Шаблон:Infobox weapon

The Ginocchio towed torpedo was based on an Italian concept of World War I and consisted of a towed torpedo that was streamed over the stern near a submarine contact in the hope that it would strike the submarine, triggering its warhead. Depth-keeping proved to be a problem during sea trials and it does not appear to have ever been operationally used.

Development and description

The French began development on the Ginocchio, based on a wartime Italian concept, during the 1920s, but depth-keeping was erratic and the project was formally suspended in 1933 after trials in the Шаблон:Sclass and Шаблон:Sclasss. The project was revived in late 1938 for the ships of the latter class, but was cancelled in October 1939.[1]

The Ginocchio came in two models, both of which had a Шаблон:Convert warhead of Trinitrotolulene.
