 The Mk.IX torpedo is a British 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo mounted on many destroyers and cruisers in the British tech tree. It is currently the most advanced British 21-inch torpedo in the game, with previous iterations being the [[Mk.V (533 mm)]] and the [[Mk.VIII (533 mm)]].

 The Mk.IX torpedo has a diameter of 533 mm, a length of 7.277 m, and weighs 1,693 kg. Without the Torpedo Mode modification installed, it can travel at a maximum speed of 67 km/h for 9.60 km. With it installed, the maximum range is increased to 12.35 km, but the maximum speed is reduced to 56 km/h.

 The Mk.IX torpedo carries a 340 kg TNT warhead, which is above average compared to other torpedoes. Destroyers and other smaller vessels can be destroyed by a single hit, but cruisers, especially heavy cruisers, may be able to survive multiple hits, depending on where the hit occurred.

 Compared to all other ship-launched torpedoes in the British tech tree:
 * [[Mark XII]]: An 18-inch torpedo, the Mark XII has a higher maximum speed (69 km/h); but it has a much lower maximum range (3.2 km) and has a much smaller explosive mass (176 kg TNT equivalence). With the Torpedo Mode modification installed on both, the Mark XII has a much greater maximum speed (74 km/h), but it has a much lower maximum range (1.37 km).

 Two of the Mk.IX's specifications are worth noting: the above-average 340 kg TNT warhead and the maximum range of 12.35 km with the Torpedo Mode modification installed. Other than this, the torpedo is unremarkable. The maximum range without the Torpedo Mode modification is 9.6, respectable but unremarkable. The maximum speeds, 67 km/h with the Torpedo Mode modification and 56 km/h without, are on the lower end, but there are many slower torpedoes.

 Designed in 1928 and entering production and service in 1930, the 21-inch Mark IX was a British surface ship torpedo with a diameter of 21 inches (53.3 cm), a length of 23 feet 10.5 inches (7.277 m), and weighed 3,732 pounds (1,693 kg). It carried a 340 kg TNT warhead. The Mark IX was the second British torpedo to be powered by the burner-cycle engine, the first being the previous 21-inch Mark VIII torpedo. It had two settings: high-speed at 36 knots (66.7 km/h) for 9.6 km, and low-speed at 30 knots (55.7 km/h) for 12.35 km.
