The G7es(TV) Zaunkönig (English: Wren), also known as T5 Zaunkönig or T5 torpedo, was a passive acoustic torpedo developed by Germany during World War II. The basic design was a development of the straight-running G7e, equipped with an acoustic homing seeker head developed by Atlas Werke. It got the nickname GNAT (German Navy Acoustic Torpedo) by the British.
