Examples

“But, unlike those weapons, which could sustain high speeds in the 40s of knots in short bursts, the Type⟳ 93, whilst still being somewhat faster than them, could keep⟳ on trucking right out to 22,000 yards. At a more mundane 36 knots, it would run⟳ twice as far with its near-eleven-hundred-pound warhead. For the first time in the dreadnought era, a nation had a torpedo that could legitimately be fired, not only beyond the practical range of enemy guns, but also beyond the absolute range limits of practically any battleship gun then in service, at least in the slower speed⟳ setting, whilst also being near-invisible, due to the almost complete⟳ absence of exhaust⟳ gasses.”
