not to pick a nit but it was 1862 by Dr. (Richard?) Gatling he invented it to "make war so horrible" that it would never happen again. He failed but several were bought by the US army and used in the Civil War

Sadly, no weapon, no matter how powerful, can "make war so horrible" that it will never happen again. Nearly sixty years ago, we developed a fearsome weapon capable of destroying a city with hundreds of thousands of people with one shot, and there have been plenty of wars since then. Any time a weapon "too horrible to use" appears, nations simply forgo using it and fight without it.

I believe it's a torpedo system not an anti-torpedo system. Since it is mentioned that it can fire off a wave of torpedos. But I maybe wrong.
