Fang Hao's catch this time almost scared a bunch of people to death.
This TG-1 anti-submarine torpedo used a contact fuse.
It needed to make contact with the target to detonate.
At that time, the torpedo probably did not hit its target and then sank to the seabed when its power was exhausted.
After long-term corrosion by seawater, the fuse of this torpedo gradually became ineffective.
This was a rather old-style torpedo.
However, the detonation methods of modern torpedoes are numerous, and they do not necessarily need to make contact to explode. Modern bottom-attack torpedoes can use sonar to track enemy surface ships, with the torpedo traveling underneath the enemy ship before the fuse triggers the explosion.
Removing the fuse from the torpedo, as long as it does not encounter extreme conditions, there should be no chance of it exploding.
The fuse is just a means to trigger the explosion, a part of the ignition mechanism.
