About the case study
The Mark 14 torpedo project remains one of the most significant failures in the history of weapons development for the US Navy. From the outset, it was shaped by conflicting stakeholder expectations, limited alignment, and immense pressure – all under the constraints of the Great Depression and wartime urgency.
The consequences were unprecedented, impacting naval operations and shaping post-war weapon system development in the United States.
This historical case offers powerful, timeless lessons for today’s delivery leaders and tech professionals.
