Torpedo Service
text:
The Torpedo Service (Torpedodienst) was the branch of the Royal Netherlands Navy dealing with torpedoes and mines. It was set up in 1870 and originally manned all the navy's small ships, including the submarine O 1, accounting for 1000 personnel in 1914. This dropped to 500 after the Second World War and in 1978, when the last mechanical torpedo in use by the Dutch Navy was phased out and replaced by electric torpedoes, the Service was disestablished.
