 The 550 mm torpedo Modèle 1923D and Modèle 1923DT were a further development of the 550 mm Modèle 1919V and featured an impressive performance in range, speed and destructive power. The 415 kg AG 329 warhead had a contact fuse with a 1.5 kg picric acid detonator. The main body contained 195 kg of compressed air at 196 bar pressure and a supply of Schneider alcohol used as a fuel for a 4-cylinder radial engine with two contra-rotating propellers at the aft of the torpedo. At the time of introduction to service, only [[Type 8 No.2 (610 mm)|Japanese Type 8]] torpedoes were more massive than the 1923DT.

-Torpedo design allowed to have warheads stored separately, in a designated steel lockers on the edge of the hull, so that any secondary explosion would be directed outwards, away from the vessel that carried them. [[Duguay-Trouin (Family)|Duguay-Trouin-class]] also had an unique feature where the lockers could be tilted to jettison explosives into the sea in case of a fire.
