Breech-loading torpedo

A breech-loading torpedo is a type of underwater missile that is loaded from the rear (breech) rather than through the front turret. Unlike older torpedoes that were loaded from the front or required manual insertion, breech-loading models allow for faster reloading and easier maintenance. They are powered by compressed air, electric motors, or other propulsion systems and are launched from submarines or ships. This design improves operational efficiency, enabling navies to quickly reload and fire multiple torpedoes during combat situations.
