Suppose the torpedo fired by the U-20 at the Lusitania turned out to be a dud and the warhead didn't explode? Unless it hit a seam squarely, I wonder if it would have had sufficient momentum to do any structural / mechanical damage to speak of. On the other hand, it would most certainly have robbed U-boats of the element of surprise and confirmed visibly the warnings by the Admiralty. Further consequences?
