Torpedorohr 300/1734

The Torpedorohr 300/1734, abbreviated as ToRo 300/34 is a torpedo launching system developed by the Waffenschmiederei Ludwigshafen, in Altstadt, that is designed to be mounted on warships. It consists of a triple-tube set that can swivel for targeting purposes. Torpedoes are launched using compressed air. The relatively simple system was developed to enlarge the market for the Leichtgewichtstorpedo 300x2500mm also produced by Waffenschmiederei Ludwigshafen, which is primarily an aerial torpedo, with the hope that it would be included in future newly built warships for the Classis of the Confoederatio Aemilia. The launching system was not immediately taken into production, but Chantiers de Louisville expressed its interest in the system.
