Does anybody know in detail about torpedo speed in WW2? How many knots did a torpedo manage to locomote with? What about WWI?

The standard British 21'' torpedo of WWII travelled at 33 knots, the standard German G7e U-Boat torpedo ( again in WWII ) had a speed of 30 knots.

The Japanese long lance I think could travel around 50 knots.
