The Bliss-Leavitt Mark 8 was the first 21" destroyer torpedo deployed by the U.S. Navy, in 1915. It was a significant improvement over earlier types, with a much longer range and larger explosive charge, but it was considered obsolescent by the time war broke out in the Pacific. However, it was used on PT boats (primarily as the Mod 3) until early 1944. The age and low speed of these torpedoes likely contributed to the ineffectiveness of U.S. PT boats as torpedo boats.
