The copper-colored cylinder at the bottom is the combustion flask. The combustion flask generates the steam and high-temperature gas, which is delivered to the round turbine housing at top.

Refer to Figure 40A and Figure 40B from Chapter 4 "The Afterbody and its Mechanisms" of Torpedoes Mark 14 and 23 Types.
