PURPOSE:To load a torpedo in one action by fitting a wire dispenser to the rear end section of the propeller shaft of a torpedo by use of a fitting member and constituting so that the circumferential flange of the wire dispenser is coupled with the concave section of a torpedo tube. CONSTITUTION:A wire dispenser P is fitted by means of a fitting member 14 to the rear end section of a propeller shaft 4a at the stern of a torpedo 4 housed as ready for firing in a torpedo tube 2 provided on a mother ship so that it can be released by the force at the time of firing. A flange 15 is formed at the circumferential section of the rear wall of the wire dispenser P body, and a ring-shaped concave groove 16 coupling with this flange 15 is formed at the rear end of the torpedo tube 2 and the circumferential front end section 16b of the rear door. The torpedo 4 and the wire dispenser P can be loaded together in one action.
