Perhaps if the Brits would have shared their torpedo technology with us, things might have turned out differently in the early years of the Pacific War. Their torpedos seem to work.

There are some good videos on Youtube that explain exactly why our torpedoes sucked at the beginning of the war. If I were to summarize the problem I would say "Union Labor monopoly on torpedo manufacturing."

They were highly specialized machinists and nobody was going to be allowed to tell them anything.

If I were to summarize the problem I would say “Union Labor monopoly on torpedo manufacturing.”
They were highly specialized machinists and nobody was going to be allowed to tell them anything.

Any evidence that the “Union Labor monopoly” deviated from the technical specifications and drawings provide by BUORD to manufacture the torpedoes.
