The sixth edition of "The Museum's Longest Night" will stream on the official World of Warships Twitch channel starting at 1:00 AM Japan Time on June 16. The program runs approximately four hours and covers torpedo history from Robert Whitehead's 19th-century self-propelled design through Cold War precision-guided weapons to modern systems. Seven museums from the US, Norway, England, and Australia are participating, each providing expert commentary on torpedoes from their collections. Viewers can submit questions to museum staff during Q&A segments and see restored torpedo exhibits. In-game torpedo-themed missions will also be available, with challenges for torpedo damage, flooding, hits, and detection, rewarding players with containers and camouflage.
