	Torpedoes: Mark 46, Mark 48, Mark 50
		They are also used as parts of other weapons; the Mark 46 torpedo becomes the warhead section of the ASROC (Anti-Submarine ROCket) and the Captor mine uses a submerged sensor platform that releases a torpedo when a hostile contact is detected.
		The three major torpedoes in the Navy inventory are the Mark 48 heavyweight torpedo, the Mark 46 lightweight and the Mark 50 advanced lightweight.
		The MK-46 Mod 5 torpedo is the backbone of the Navy's lightweight ASW torpedo inventory and is expected to remain in service until the year 2015.

	Torpedos
		As the torpedo left the tube, a lever activated the torpedo motor, usually steam that was generated by mixing alcohol and kerosene.
		This $10,000 torpedo was similar to the improved Mark 14, it was equipped with a conventional contact exploder and was one of the last steam-driven weapons.
		The torpedoes were ejected from the tubes with a burst of high pressure air and could be conveniently fitted almost anywhere on the superstructure.

		A torpedo tube is basically a large air gun that ejects a torpedo; the torpedo's own engine then carries it to its target.
		Although the Mark 14 torpedo was an excellent torpedo at the end of the war, it was a fiasco at the beginning.
		Mark 18 Torpedo Gear: There is a battery charger located in the aft starboard overhead and a hydrogen burner, to eliminate this explosive by-product of charging, located over the starboard torpedo tubes.

	American submarine torpedoes in World War II
		Size constraints didn't allow a 21" torpedo to be retrofitted to the "O" class boats—there was barely enough room for the 18-inch tubes—so they were installed in the new "R" and "S" class boats that were being built at the time the U.S. entered the war.
		With the older, straight-running torpedoes, it had been necessary to aim the submarine at the target—or, really, at where the target would be by the time the torpedo reached it.
		The exhaust was one of the greatest perceived problems with the Mark-14 and its predecessors, since it left a trail of bubbles marking the course of the torpedo as it ran in on the target.

	Newport and Navy Torpedoes - An Enduring Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By 1871, the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport had developed its own version of Whitehead’s weapon, the 17-foot long "Fish," and was experimenting with a series of other alternatives, including the Howell Automobile Torpedo, which in 1889 became the first self-propelled weapon issued to the Fleet.
		This was designated the Torpedo Mark 10, and over 1,000 were manufactured for use in World War I. The Naval TorpedoStation, which expanded its industrial capacity dramatically for the war, also played a key role in developing underwater explosives, depth bombs, and mines for the anti-U-boat campaign.
		Shortly thereafter, NUOS assumed a key role in the development of the wire-guided, electrically-driven acoustic homing torpedo, Mark 37, which reached the Fleet in 1956 and then embarked on a technology program to prepare the ground for a new generation of heavyweight submarine torpedoes responsive to the growing Soviet threat.

	USA Torpedoes since World War II
		Meant to be the "ultimate non-homing torpedo." The Mark 40 propulsion system was interesting in that it used a multibase solid propellant to produce gas to drive a turbine, which, in turn, drove a pump-jet propulser.

	The FReeper Foxhole Studies The Early History of Torpedoes - December 21st, 2003
		In 1944 a torpedo was built in Britain that varied its depth by pushing the main battery to and fro to alter the position of the centre of gravity.
		The amount of torpedo hardware being generated was rapidly increasing, and during the first three decades of its existence, the torpedo station found itself in a race to build new physical facilities fast enough to keep up with expanding torpedo program requirements.
		This torpedo which was produced in quantities of over 3300 units at the Naval Ordnance Park at Forest Park, IL served as the U.S. Navy’s primary submarine acoustic torpedo from the mid-1950’s until the Mk 48 torpedo replaced it in the early 1970’s.

		In general, the Mark 9 was a Lynx AH.7 with the crashworthy wheeled landing gear, fitted from the start with the hay box infrared suppressors and BERP rotor blades.
		One Lynx dropped a homing torpedo, which continued to cruise around under the submarine, waiting for it to dive; the submarine's skipper decided not to, and returned to harbor, where the vessel was then worked over by the Lynxes with their machine guns and then disabled by Wasps firing AS-12 missiles.
		The Mark 86s were actually operated by the Norwegian Air Force on behalf of the Coast Guard, with the Air Force providing pilots, navigators, and techs, while the Coast Guard provided the winchmen and the deck management personnel.

		I had heard that the Russians were testing a new torpedo called Swarm or something like that that was ungodly fast due to a technology that encapsulated the fish in a bubble eliminating surface tension.
		Military experts said they believed the crew of the Kursk were testing one of two weapons systems: an anti-submarine missile that fired from a torpedo tube out of the sea, then re-entered it to attack submarines; or an upgraded version of a fast and silent torpedo called the Squall.
