The Whitehead Mark 1 torpedo was the first Whitehead torpedo adopted by the United States Navy for use in an anti-surface ship role after the E. W. Bliss Company of Brooklyn New York secured manufacturing rights in 1892. The US Navy made an initial acquisition of 100 Mark 1s which by the time they entered American service were faster had longer range and carried a larger warhead than Robert Whitehead’s earlier models.
