Whitehead Mark 5 torpedo The Whitehead Mark 5 torpedo was a Whitehead torpedo adopted by the United States Navy for use in an anti - surface ship role in 1910 . The Mark 5 was the first torpedo to be manufactured by a foreign company , the Whitehead facility in the United Kingdom , and in 1908 , by the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport , Rhode Island . It was also the first torpedo to allow the firing ship to vary its speed and range . Characteristics . The Mark 5 was a " hot - running " ( powered by heated air ) torpedo , as opposed to previous Whitehead designs , which were " cold - running " . It was similar in performance to the Bliss - Leavitt torpedo es of that era . Around 500 units were produced by the Naval Torpedo Station and Vickers Limited . The Mark 5 had variable speed ; at a high speed of 40 knots , it had a range of 1000 yards . A low speed of 27 knots allowed the weapon a range of 4000 yards ; at medium speed of 36 knots , its range was 2000 yards . This variable speed was set before loading the torpedo in its tube by adjusting the reducing valve . The Mark 5 was , however , overshadowed by the increasing efficiency and range of Bliss - Leavitt torpedo es . In 1922 , all torpedoes prior to the Bliss - Leavitt Mark 7 torpedo in the US Navy ' s inventory were condemned in favor of more modern versions . The Mark 5 was launched from battleship s , torpedo boat s and submarine s .
