Torpedoman's mate

Torpedoman's Mate (abbreviated as TM) is a United States Navy occupational rating.

It was disestablished on submarines in 1995 and on surface ships on 1 October 2007.

Surface torpedomen were merged into the gunner's mate rating, while submarine torpedomen were merged into the machinist's mate (non-nuclear) rating, becoming MM(W) or machinist mates (weapons).

[2] The re-establishment of the rate is in direct support of the Sailor 2025 and Rating Modernization initiative, which aim to empower Sailors and expand professional development opportunities.
