Legate of Mineta Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Currently, we're making the assumption that she still carries her G/6 torpedoes from WWI, but...it seems likely that she was updated during her rebuild. Maybe? We don't have any information on it, and English sources are somewhat lacking- anyone definitively know? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panay's Ghost Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Sorry, Yavuz carries no torpedoes, unless it's for decoration. According to Battleships and Battle Cruisers 1905-1970, her bow and stern torpedo tubes were removed during the 1926-1930 refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 We believed that she carried the G/6 on her trip to Turkey, but could be wrong about that. It appears that she retained her port and starboard launchers, even after the refit. The fore and aft ones were removed, however. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
