Our Fighting Navy (also known as Torpedoed) is a 1937 British action film directed by Norman Walker and starring Robert Douglas, Richard Cromwell and Hazel Terry.[1] The Royal Navy, viewing the film as a recruitment opportunity, provided warships and extras.

The film was made by Herbert Wilcox Productions made at Pinewood Studios.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Lawrence P. Williams. It was given an American release in 1938 with a reduced running time. The dialogue adaptation for the French dub version was carried out by Jean Devaivre and the film was released in France under the title Choc en mer[a] in 1938.
