The Mark 23 torpedo was a submarine-launched anti-surface ship torpedo designed and built by the Naval Torpedo Station for the United States Navy in World War II. It was essentially a Mark 14 torpedo modified via the removal of its low-speed long-range setting leaving the high-speed short-range feature in place.It was developed with the high-speed feature of the Mark 14 torpedo in mind as earlier in the war the low-speed feature of the Mark 14 was rarely used.
