The Bliss–Leavitt Mark 8 torpedo was the United States Navy's first 21-inch by 21-foot torpedo. Although introduced prior to World War I, most of its combat use was by PT boats in World War II. The torpedo was originally designed in 1911 by Frank McDowell Leavitt of the E. W. Bliss Company and entered full mass production in 1913 at the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport, Rhode Island. It was deployed on destroyers and battleships during World War I and cruisers built in the 1920s. All US battleships and most cruisers had their torpedo tubes removed by 1941. The Mark 8 remained in service through World War II on older destroyers, primarily the Wickes and Clemson classes. It also equipped PT boats early in World War II, but was replaced by the Mark 13 torpedo on most of these in mid-1943.

  • 布利斯-萊維特Mk 8型魚雷是美國海軍第一款21寸x 21尺魚雷。雖然它在一戰前已經發表了,但大部分是在二戰時經PT艇使用。它最初在1911年由E.W.布利斯公司的Frank McDowell Leavitt設計,並於1913年在美國海軍魚雷站進入全面生產。它在一戰期間被部署在驅逐艦和戰艦,以及在1920年代建造的巡洋艦上。至1941年,所有戰艦和大部分巡洋艦都移除了Mk 8型魚雷魚雷管。二戰期間,Mk 8型魚雷仍在一些老舊的驅逐艦上服役,主要是維克斯級驅逐艦和克萊門森級驅逐艦。它貞在二戰早期裝備於PT艇上,但大多數在1943年中期被Mk 13型魚雷取代。 在租借法案下,約600枚Mk 8型魚雷被送到英國,並根據驅逐艦換基地協議,收到的50艘1930年前的驅逐艦。 (zh)

  • La torpille Mark 8 Bliss-Leavitt était la première torpille de 21 pouces (53,34 cm) sur 21 pieds (6,4 m) utilisée par la marine américaine. Bien que sa conception, en 1911, soit antérieure à la Première Guerre mondiale, elle fut principalement utilisée par des vedettes-torpilleurs pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La torpille fut conçue par Frank McDowell Leavitt pour la société EW Bliss, et sa production de masse commença à compter de 1913 à la Naval Torpedo Station de Newport, Rhode Island . Elle fut été déployée sur des destroyers et des cuirassés pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, ainsi que sur certains croiseurs construits dans les années 1920. Cependant, tous les cuirassés américains et la plupart des croiseurs ayant vu leurs tubes lance-torpilles retirés en 1941, la Mark 8 resta (fr)
