It doesn't surprise me. I've seen WWII-era torpedoes and their innards at the
Science of Museum and Industry in Chicago in the U-505 exhibit (seriously, if
you're ever in Chicago to to the museum and pay the extra fee to go aboard
U-505. Totally worth it) and there is a _lot_ going on in one of those.

Here's a low-ish quality photo of the innars of a torpedo in the exhibit (not
mine)

Specifically in that thread these photos
[https://imgur.com/a/zNry7](https://imgur.com/a/zNry7)

Sadly my photos from last year aren't any better, the cavern that U-505 is in
has terrible lighting for photography.

I was quite surprised by the amount of gears, tubes, segments, weights, etc
inside one. Even the amount of batteries initially caught me off guard because
I'm used to thinking in modern lithium batteries and not lead acid.

I _think_ that is a G7e torpedo above.

Wow, that is incredible. I had no idea they were that complex, or even that
big.

The length was a bit hard to accept. Later I started looking into torpedoes
and there are some real monsters that have existed, the Japanese Type 93 used
in WWII is almost 30 feet long
