If so, what vintage? Launched from submarines or boats? Any collector value? "My life is better than your vacation"

Those tubes look like shipping containers for the torpedoes. That makes sense that they are shipping tubes. All of the torpedoes I have seen in museums have had rounded edges. That lip on the rim would make them travel through the water poorly. The tubes are otherwise very close to the length and width of the torpedoes I have seen. Keith
