^NoobTeitoku. the regia marina ones weren't manned torpedo but a torpedo shaped transport sub called "siluro a lenta corsa" (SLC) or "maiale". Two sub will pilot it near the enmey ship, then dive and go under it. Once there the head of the sub, containing a timed explosive charge, is removed and attached to the ship, once the charge is planted the sub return to the support submarine wich deployed them.
