Torpedo Shot from USS Iowa in 1899 Surfaces
The mid and tail sections of this rare torpedo, found by U.S. Navy dolphins off the coast of San Diego last March, make it one of three known to exist. The torpedo was transferred to UAB for desalinization and conservation on the Washington Navy Yard, May 31. That was when the marking "U.S.N. No. 24" was found.
