(Now with Torpedo subassembly!) Mark 15 Torpedoes in a Triple Barrel Launcher!

Triple Barrel Mark 15 Torpedo Launcher

1.0.5 Torpedoes+Launcher, KerbalX

This is a working torpedo launcher equipped with torpedoes that are based off and inspired by the Mark 15 Torpedoes used by the US Navy is WWII.
This craft has three barrels, which contain these torpedoes. Each torpedo is powered with a Juno engines, allowing speeds of up to 62 knots in speed, for as far as ~80 kilometers. This launcher should be used on Destroyers and Cruisers, but as an example, this craft has a rig with ore tanks carrying 9.158 tons of Ore. Since the craft is not limited onto a ship, by default it can use SAS to turn the craft.

Stats: 3 barrels, 39.7 tons, 127 parts total. Each torpedo has 16 parts plus a decoupler. The initial boost out the tube is powered by sepatrons while the jet starts up. The torpedoes have probe cores for optional control.
The real Mark 15s were generally launched out of quintuple barrel launchers, but I didn't do that because of part count and wanted to keep the launcher slim. Also notable : This launcher has no reload capability, a capacity only IJN destroyers had (I think?)

Now for the Pics!

Racing in the sea!
and into the shore...

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you clear seas on your naval adventures around Kerbin! (Maybe Eve+Laythe? :P)

Future plans will be to release a subassembly of just the torpedo, and a Two engine torpedo for speed, maybe with ore tanks to make it below water unlike my current torpedo.

Wow, this looks wonderful! Can´t believe nobody noticed that yet! These torpedos look really good, I will defintely have to try this out.

For those who just want the torpedo, here it is.
