SAN DIEGO — In the ocean off Coronado, a Navy team has discovered a relic worthy of display in a military museum: a torpedo of the kind deployed in the late 19th century, consid-ered a technological marvel in its day.
But don’t look for the prima-ry discoverers to get a promo-tion or an invitation to meet the admirals at the Pentagon — although they might get an extra fi sh for dinner or maybe a pat on the snout.
The so-called Howell torpe-do was discovered by bottle-nose dolphins being trained by the Navy to fi nd undersea objects, including mines, that not even billion-dollar technology can detect.
“Dolphins naturally possess the most sophisticated sonar known to man,” Braden Duryee, an offi cial at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems
Center Pacifi c said after the surprising discovery.
While not as well known as the Gatling gun and the Sherman tank, the Howell torpedo was hailed as a
breakthrough when the U.S. was in heavy competition for dominance on the high seas. It was the fi rst torpedo that could truly follow a track without leaving a wake and then smash a target, according to Navy offi cials.
Only 50 were made between 1870 and 1889 by a Rhode Island company before a rival copied and surpassed the Howell’s capability.
Until recently only one Howell torpedo was known to exist, on display at the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport,
Wash. Now a second has been discovered, not far from the Hotel del Coronado.
The Howell torpedo was made of brass, 11 feet long, driven by a 132-pound fl ywheel spun to 10,000 rpm before launch. It had a range of 400 yards and a speed of 25 knots.
