Re: ? торпеды...
>2. Исследования реальной результативности применения оных.
Only the type 1, a one person model with a 3000 lb (1,360 kg) warhead, was used operationally. Almost 400 of these were built, with more than 100 of these sent on suicide missions. As well as the obvious advantage of providing guidance for the torpedo, these kaitens could be launched from a submerged submarine, unlike the unmanned type 93 torpedo which was deck launched from the surface. However they were not nearly as effective round for round as the highly successful type 93 torpedo on which they were based. The American sources state that the only sinkings achieved by kaiten attacks were the tanker USS Mississinewa on November 20, 1944, and the USS Underhill on July 24, 1945 (some Japanese sources give much larger numbers).

То есть Викпедия даёт 2 на 100 использованных. По мнению автора книги было использовано 80 и ещё 15 водителй погибло в ходе тренировок.
