Code Name: Torpedo Navy SEAL File Name: Leialoha, Edward W. SN: RN946775409 Primary Military Specialty: Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land) Secondary Military Specialty: Demolitions Birthplace: Aiea, Hawaii Grade: WO-4 (Warrant Officer) -------------------- Torpedo is a no-nonsense, by the book, stand-by-the-regs Navy SEAL. Torpedo was a scuba instructor prior to enlistment, and by age 13, he had attained black belts in three martial arts (Wu-Shu, Kenpo, and Go-Ju-Ryu.) Torpedo is in a league of his own, and he likes it that way; he was the first choice to represent the Navy within the G.I. Joe team, and he regards that with considerable pride. As an elite SEAL, he can swim up to 100 yards without scuba tanks and carry half his weight in underwater explosives. Because of his proficiency in the martial arts and his dedication to the SEALs, he lives a disciplined life as a strict vegetarian. A highly competent professional in the field, Torpedo's only drawback is his lack of personality. He prefers the company of the ocean and really hates pollution. Even so, you have to give respect to a guy that can go up against a squad of Cobra Eels, barehanded, and leave them as fish food. When the G.I. Joe team was closed down by the government, Torpedo continued in the service as an Underwater Demolitions instructor. When he heard the Joes were reorganizing, he promptly returned. -------------------- Training after SEAL school: CLASSIFIED. Qualified Expert: Most NATO small arms; NATO and Warsaw Pact explosive devices. Proficient with Filipino butterfly knife (Bali-Song). Has black belt in three forms of unarmed combat. -------------------- Submitted by: Stone, Skip "What can I say about the guy? He spends his off-duty hours perfecting his fighting skills and marksmanship; he's a strict vegetarian; he's regarded by his teammates as a highly competent professional, but with the personality of a cold fish. Even so, some days I think this aloof personality is the only thing that keeps a loose cannon like Wet-Suit, a wild card like Shipwreak, and a recluse like Deep Six together on a mission. "   Submitted by: Abernathy, Clayton M. "If discipline is the key, Torpedo is the lock. Torpedo's talent in underwater demolitions is extraordinary. When he sets his mind to something, nothing stands in his way. I've never seen anybody hold their breath as long as this guy either. I value his judgment and his skills."
