Does anyone know which company produced the 21 inch torpedoes fitted on the Brave class Fast Patrol Boat? Thank you.
They should’ve been, in RN service towards the end of the 50’s, MkIX** or MkX 21″ weapons…a variant of the MkVIII** of Belgrano fame. These were built in the RN Torpedo Factories up in Scotland (Greenock & Alexandria) and at the Whitehead factory in Weymouth.
The guys here might be able to provide a bit more on the specific armament options of the later export MTB hulls based on the Braves: http://www.bmpt.org.uk/other_boats_history/Brave%20class/index.htm
