Bushnell named the weapon; he used what's now called a limpet mine. I'd hardly call that inventing it. If anybody deserves credit for that, it's Luppius, but Whitehead usually steals his thunder... Trekphiler 13:55, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
1st - Whitehead was nominated tecnical director of "Stabillimento Tecnico Fiumano" in 1858 and not in 1856, as it results from the book: "La Storia del siluro 1860-1936." ed. Silurificio Whitehead di Fiume S. A. - Sede in Fiume, Stabilimento Tipografico Alessandro Pesce 1936-XV., page 10-11 note 1;
2nd -Photograph on this page was not shot in Fiume (Rijeka), because man on the right is not R. W., and man on the left is from southeast Asia (Japan, China), and not from Adriatic. It is not known that workers from southeast Asia were ever engaged in Fiume. 213.202.96.116 15:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
His granddaughter, Frances, launched a submarine for the Austrian navy, fell in love with the captain, George von Trapp, and married him. Their children later became famous as the von Trapp singers through the film, the Sound of Music. DNB -- jmb 22:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
The article mentions a Schwartzkopf torpedo. When translated from German, that is Blackhead torpedo, not Whitehead. Is that just a coincidence? This page claims not [1]. This suggests that an important facet is missing. DHR ( talk) 00:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
The "Use of torpedoes" section seems out of place here. This page is actually a biography page, which already devotes a lot of space to the man's invention. That may be fair enough (though the invention itself also has a page) but a large section on instances of its use should be there, not here. What does anybody else think?
