The G7es (TXI) Zaunkönig II was a torpedo developed for German U-boats during World War II. The torpedo was electric and had an effective range of 5700 metres at a speed of 24 knots (44 km/h). This torpedo employed acoustic passive homing to find its target after a straight run of 400 metres. This evolution of the G7es torpedo was created to counter the Allies’ Foxer noise-maker countermeasure.
