Z13 torpedo

The Z-13 was an electric heavy torpedo of the French Navy.

It was designed to be fired from submerged submarines to target surface ships. The Z-13 was propelled by two electric engines, each moving a propeller. A Ca-Ni battery fed the engines.

The military payload could be detonated either on contact, or by a magnetic detonator.
