La collection du Musée canadien de la guerre comprend depuis 1960 une torpille soviétique dont les origines ont longtemps
été nébuleuses. Des recherches archivistiques ont permis de découvrir son transport au Canada en 1951 au cours d’un chargement de torpilles et de mines marines de fabrication soviétique capturées en Corée du Nord et destinées à des fins d’analyse et de formation. Ces recherches ont également révélé les subtilités et les implications de l’analyse technique des mines. Le présent article porte sur l’histoire de ces armes et décrit les répercussions plus larges de leur acquisition et leur analyse pour la Marine royale canadienne au début de la Guerre froide, y compris les domaines potentiels qui se prêtent à des recherches ultérieures.
