We have spent the last two weeks working on a whole new feature! PigBoats.COM now has two new informational pages that covers the submarine's primary weapon, the torpedo. One page covers background information and specifications of the torpedoes used during the Pigboat era, and the second page has detailed information on each weapon along with photos. The specifications page can be accessed at this link or through the link in the Navigation box on the left. The photos page can be accessed through specific links in the specifications table. Enjoy! As always, if you have questions or comments please let us know.
