The Type 93 Torpedo was a Japanese torpedo put into service in 1933. It is an oxygen-propelled torpedo that was given to surface ships to use against enemy battleships, and was used to deadly effect in the Pacific. In-game, it is mounted on the later Japanese warships, such as the [[IJN Yugumo]] destroyer and [[IJN Furutaka]] cruiser. Compared to most other torpedoes, these torpedoes have exceptionally long range that can reach as far as 20km, move very fast at 93km/h, and packing a very deadly warhead that is capable of sending even the toughest cruisers to the bottom of the ocean with one well-placed hit.

=== Effective damage ===
 
<!--Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)-->
 
 
 
A Type 93 torpedo, with its 627kg equivalent of TNT explosive warhead, is capable of destroying destroyers and cruisers in one hit. Cases where a target would require more than two torpedoes to destroy are exceptionally rare.
 
 
 
=== Comparison with analogues ===
 
''Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.''
 
 
 
== Usage in battles ==
 
<!--Describe situations when you would utilize this bomb in game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)-->
 
 
 
The Type 93 Torpedo is possibly the best ship-launched torpedo in the game with an unrivaled range of 20km, 93km/h speed and 627kg of TNT equivalent explosive power. This gives it the longest range and fastest speed of any ship-launched torpedo in the game, and the second largest torpedo warhead. This will allow you to destroy any ship in the game with a torpedo strike. Destroyers are no match for the Type 93 and even cruisers will have a hard time holding up to a single torpedo strike.
 
 
 
One useful feature of the Type 93 torpedo is that on all ships to which they are mounted on as of [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]], the torpedo launchers can be reloaded with extra torpedoes stored on the deck of the ship. While this feature is of little use in [[Arcade Battles]], it is very useful in [[Realistic Battles]], as it allows your ship to carry more torpedoes than most other ships which do not sport the ability to reload their torpedoes.
 
 
 
The Type 93 is a very useful torpedo in the Encounter gamemode, as their long range and fast speed will allow you to strike at the enemy convoy immediately from spawn. They can also be used against players by firing a large spread in an area where one would expect many ships to pass through. They can also catch an enemy ship at a distance where most conventional torpedoes will not be able to reach, off-guard.
 
 
 
=== Pros and cons ===
 
<!--Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.-->
 
 
 
'''Pros:'''

* Fastest torpedo in the game

* Usually has access to torpedo reloads
