Excerpt from Lecture on the Whitehead Torpedo No attempt was ever made to apply any lateral steering gear, firing apparatus, or any other of the numerous adjuncts of the Whitehead. The torpedo runs very slowly, and only for a short distance, curving to starboard at the same time, but the submerging apparatus works perfectly.
