Homing Torpedo Model
Homing Torpedo Model

The Canadian Westinghouse Company in Hamilton, Ontario, presented this model of a homing torpedo to Canadian Commodore W.G. Ross.

A modification of the American Mark 32 homing torpedo, this version was intended to be carried by the Canadian St. Laurent class destroyers entering service in the 1950s. Homing torpedoes like these were intended to allow Canadian ships to attack submarines that could travel faster, dive deeper, and carry more powerful weapons than their Second World War predecessors. Canadian Westinghouse had begun manufacturing torpedoes during the Second World War, and continued to build them during the Cold War.
