The Navy’s official caption for this photo misidentifies this as a “Type 93 (long lance), fired from a submarine.” This is a Type 93 (long lance) but the Type 93 were launched from surface vessels such as destroyers and cruisers. The Type 95 was the smaller companion torpedo that was launched from submarines.
