  Madchanu torpedo tubes

 

Thailand

Submarines of the type Madchanu(fig.) were 51 meters long, 4.1 meters wide, and armed with four 450 millimeter torpedo tubes.

 

They could launch the initial torpedoes over a distance of 3,000 meters at a speed of 23 knots, though later types could reach distances of up to 8,000 meters at a speed of 30 knots, or a lesser distance at a higher speed.
