March 26

On March 26, 1941 Italy uses the first detacable manned warhead torpedoes to sink a British cruiser in the Suda Bay, Crete. This added a new weapon to the navies' arsenal. It was called the "Chariot." The torpedo was unique because two men would steer the warhead until it was lined up with the target then launch it.
