That is the Russian version, nicknamed "Tsar Bomba" it was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It comprised a 500kt fission warhead as a trigger with fusion upping the yield to 100MT. It was redesigned with a much, much smaller fission trigger, but the eventual yield when tested was still ~60MT. It was also the most efficient nuclear bomb ever create, with about 98% fusion.


There isn't space to carry 1 reload per tube on a torpedo boat, let alone 18 spare torpedoes.

Depends a lot on the torpedo boat, I'd think. The RL WWII S-boats carried reload torps for their tubes, and then there's theWW Italian MAS that carries 12 torps on a less than 100 ton hull.

Not much space on a 600ton boat with 4 TT. Could possibly carry another 4 Torpedoes, but manhandling them into position would prove to be extremely hard.
