Nordenfeldt Torpedo to Become U S Coast Defense Weapon
The War Department reaches near completion of arrangements with Swedish engineer Nordenfeldt to make his coast defense torpedo the United States property. Talks cover production at the Bliss Works in Brooklyn and deployment for harbors at Porto Rico, Honolulu, and Guam. The device runs submerged, is wire-controlled from shore, and can stop reverse or return to base. Nordenfeldt plans to raise speed to sixteen knots, with a 35 foot length, 29 inch diameter, and 6200 pound weight, powered by 120 storage cells delivering the motive power. The torpedo’s electric engine replaces compressed air use in Whitehead designs, offering enhanced maneuverability. Washington, April 15.
