== List of World War II Kriegsmarine torpedoes == === Kriegsmarine torpedo designation system === The first letter indicates the diameter: G = 53 cm (21 in) F = 45 cm (17.7 in) H = 60 cm (23.7 in) M = 75 cm (30 in) The number indicates the approximate length (for example, the length of the TI is 7163 mm): 7 = 7 m 6 = 6 m 5 = 5 m Next letter(s) indicates specific features regarding propulsion and control: a = Atem, i.e. Pressluft/Dampfgemisch-Antrieb (pressurized air/steam - "wetheater" - engine) e = Elektrischer Antrieb (electric engine) f = Fernlenkung (remote control by radio or cable) d = Sauerstoff/Dampfgemisch-Antrieb (oxygen/steam engine) p = Primärbatterie-Antrieb (primary battery propulsion) m = Verbrennungsmaschine mit Kreislaufverfahren (combustion engine recirculating air) u = Sauerstoffträger Ingolin spurenfreier Antrieb (oxygen/steam engine with hydrogen peroxide as source for air, and no exposing "bubbletrack") x = Torpedo mit 3-Achsen Steuerung (3-axes control) r = Raketen- oder Düsenantrieb (rocket- or jet propulsion) s = Schall, Torpedo mit akustischen Suchkopf (acoustic seeker) t = Turbinenantrieb (turbine-engine) "r" and "t" were only used with "u" to further denote the features of the ingolin-torpedoes.
