| Description |
English: The Royal Navy during the Second World War In the Indian Ocean the torpedo party is steadying the torpedo before it is lowered to the deck of HMS DERWENT after it had been fired in an exercise and then recovered. The dummy head used was fitted with a calcium float to indicate the position of the torpedo after it had finished its run. The whaler is used to recover the torpedo, and is lowered when the destroyer is close to it. It is then towed alongside and hoisted on board and later the dummy head is removed and replaced by the more businesslike warhead. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
