NUSC on Torpedoes

Abstract

NUSC's 'taproot' predecessor organization, the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport (NTS/NPT), founded in 1869, was the world's first naval establishment dedicated to torpedos. The U.S. Navy's first torpedo was built and tested at NTS/NPT in 1871 and, since that time, Newport has been in the forefront of U.S. Navy torpedo efforts. This brochure documents some of the major milestones that have occurred during the past century and summarizes NUSC's long-standing leadership in the evolution of U.S. Navy torpedoes.
