[edit] Torpedoes ignored after Midway?

This is actually not true, Avengers carried torpedoes in the battles of Santa Cruz,torpedoed Nachi class CA and Eastern Solomons TBFs from VT-3 torpedoed a destroyer. Hiyei was also torpedoed. Anynobody 08:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Good work. Clearly, American aerial torpedoes didn't disappear for two years until June '44. Perhaps the original writer of that section was thinking about a hesitancy to use torpedoes that were having developmental problems. If so, more detail would have been appropriate.

I wouldn't blame them for thinking that way, the Mk 13 torpedo pretty much sucked. Though I'm pretty sure it wasn't as bad as the sub launched torpedoes deployed by the US. Anynobody 19:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
