- Albeit, at the time, the Type 93 would go on to be the central star of the most spectacular teamkill of the war, when the cruiser Mogami fired a salvo of six Type 93s at the cruiser USS Houston, missed, but, with their long range, the torpedoes quite happily motored on and blew up four friendly transports and a minesweeper. Yeah, not such a good day.
