-Much like all lightweight torpedoes, it's best used against large, slow targets with no torpedo defense. When using it, one must remember about the minimum arming distance, which is 50 meters, or triple the full length of the PT-3. When faced with multiple fast coastal vessels and no alternative targets, it's worth to just launch torpedoes in a general direction of the enemy vessels - sometimes lucky hits are the best one can hope for.

-The Mk. 7 was the first American steam-driven torpedo that could be used by both: submarines and surface vessels alike. Being designed in 1911 it was also the first American wet heater torpedo.

-The exact calibre of the torpedo was 17.7 inch, or 450 mm, though in the US it was typically rounded to "18 inch". It carried the Mk 7 Mod 5 warhead with 326 pounds of either TNT or TPX and a Mk 3 Mod 1 contact fuse. Torpedo had two modes, a low-pressure for 3500 yards (3.2 km) travel distance and a high-pressure for 6000 yards (5.5 km).

 During the WW1 it has seen use primarily on the American [[wikipedia:United States K-class submarine|K]], [[wikipedia:United States L-class submarine|L]], [[wikipedia:United States M-class submarine|M]], [[wikipedia:United States N-class submarine|N]] and [[wikipedia:United States O-class submarine|O class]] submarines. With the retiring of the last of the O-class in 1946, the Mk. 7 ended its 34 years of career in the US Navy.
