The ballast release apparatus renders a non-buoyant torpedo buoyant upon release of ballast. The apparatus makes possible the recovery of a torpedo after a test run. The apparatus includes a ballast weight, a rotatable screw for effecting release of the weight, a spring motor, and a latch or release for initiating the operation of the motor.
