Torpedoman's mate (abbreviated as TM) was a United States Navy occupational rating. It was disestablished on 1 October 2007. Surface torpedomen were merged into the gunner's mate rating, while submarine torpedomen were merged into the machinist mate (non-nuclear) rating, becoming MM(W) or machinist mates (weapons). [1]
