	MK-50 Torpedo
		The Mk-50 torpedo was developed as the next generation lightweight torpedo to gradually replace the existing Mk-46 torpedo as the Navy's primary ASW weapon for aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters) and surface ships.
		A sonar transducer is mounted in the torpedo nose.
		Warshot and exercise versions of the torpedo are intended to be deployed from land based patrol aircraft (P-3), ASW carrier-based aircraft (S-3), ASW helicopters (SH-2, SH-3, SH-60) and ASW surface vessel torpedo tubes.

		The stem orifice had a water-tight cover, which was removed on the torpedo being placed in the tube and the inner door closed; then, sufficient impulse being imparted to eject the torpedo, and its machinery being set in motion at the same time, it darted forward towards the enemy.
		She entered the bay at night, and first discharged her bow torpedo at the ironclad, which missed; she then fired a broadside torpedo, which struck and exploded against the bow of the "Aquidaban." It caused a great shock on board, throwing an officer on the bridge into the water.
		Tactics for torpedo attack in such circumstances have not therefore been laid down, and it is only necessary to consider the positions which are advantageous for the use of this weapon, and, conversely, what should be avoided when a vessel, finding herself overmatched in gunnery, seeks to redress the balance with torpedoes.

	Torpedo
		The Bangalore Torpedo, invented in 1912, is a cylindrical explosive device on the end of a pipe used to clear minefields and barbed wire.
		Prior to the invention of the self-propelled naval torpedo, the term "torpedo" was applied to any number of different types of explosive devices, generally having the property of being secret or hidden, including devices we would today call booby trap s, land mine s and naval mine s, among others.
		In the case of deck or tube launched torpedoes, the diameter of the torpedo is obviously a key factor in determining the suitability of a particular torpedo to a tube or launcher, similar to the caliber of the gun.

		Test torpedoes were then dropped 90 feet along a wire suspended from a crane into an empty drydock where they landed squarely on steel plates.
		When a torpedo struck a glancing, angled blow, the force of impact was lessened enough to allow the spring to push the pin into the caps, causing detonation.
		What must never be forgotten is the fact that just over 50 years ago, submariners were forced to engage the enemy for 18 months with ordnance that proved to be at least 70 percent unreliable.

	Torpedo Summary
		Torpedoes are weapons that may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned naval mines and naval fortresses.
		Prior to the invention of the self-propelled naval torpedo, the term "torpedo" was applied to any number of different types of explosive devices, generally having the property of being secret or hidden, including devices we would today call booby traps, land mines and naval mines, among others.
		The first torpedoes driven at specific targets were spar torpedoes; the explosive device was on the end of a spar up to 40 feet long projecting forward under water from the bow of the attacking vessel.

		All torpedo launches must be declared at the beginning of the phase, and once declared, may not be canceled.
		Torpedoes fired are crossed off of the firing vessel's ship log, and if necessary, a launch marker may be placed next to the vessel's base on the launching side.

		Torpedo attacks, however, ordinarily are not made against well-defended units, unless supporting attack is made simultaneously by other types of planes to divide the enemy antiaircraft fire.
		When the torpedo is installed on the plane, a toggle is hooked to this lever and is attached to the aircraft by a lanyard.
		To drive the torpedo through the water, this thrust must be taken from the propeller shafts and applied to the shell of the torpedo.

	Harbor Torpedo
		The captain may choose to program two dumb torpedoes to strike a dry dock, two at an oil terminal, two at the main pier where ships are berthed, and have two homing torpedoes circle about listening for moving ships that they can attack.
		The torpedoes may have acoustic sensors for terminal guidance like today's homing torpedoes, or they may be cheap, dumb torpedoes.
		Harbor torpedoes are an excellent strike warfare weapon, and will cause damage and much confusion with mysterious explosions within the safety of a "secure" harbor.

	Newport and Navy Torpedoes - An Enduring Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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.

	MK-50 Torpedo
		Torpedoes are self-propelled guided projectiles that operate underwater and are designed to detonate on contact or in proximity to a target.
		The MK 50 torpedo was developed as the next generation lightweight torpedo to gradually replace the existing MK 46 torpedo as the Navy's primary ASW weapon for aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters) and surface ships.
		The MK 50 torpedo is intended to be an enabler when used to clear hostile waters of submarines, allowing amphibious forces freedom of operation.

	Dud Torpedoes, WW2 Pacific
		Therefore torpedoes were not tested to destruction; they were fired against soft targets with floatable warheads so they could be salvaged for reuse.
		The torpedo was so slow and short range that a ship could outrun a torpedo not launched from ahead.
		A destroyer launched torpedo attack was in face of greater excitement; failures to hit while engaged in surface combat were not able to be immediately analyzed.

		The Mark 37 was considered to be an excellent antisubmarine weapon until submarine speeds reached the 20+ knot range and diving depths began to exceed 1,000 feet (330 m).
		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 Mark 54 torpedo is intended to improve the shallow water capability of air-launched torpedoes and to be effective against quiet diesel-electric submarines operating in the shallow-water littoral environment.

	MK-44 Torpedo
		While DASH was qualified to carry either a single MK-46 Mod 0 or two Mk-44 Mod 0 torpedoes on a ASW mission, the Mark 44 was the chief weapon DASH used as the MK-44 was the more widely deployed torpedo at the time DASH operated (1960 to 1970) with the U.S. Naval fleet.
		DASH used the MK-44 Mod 0 model torpedo with its MK-8, Mod 4 bomb shackle (also known as the bomb release unit (BRU)) and MK 64 Suspension Bands with the MK 24 MOD 2 air stabilizer.
		The Mk-44/MK-101 combination was the conventional payload for ship-based ASROC (anti-submarine rocket) system during the early 60's with phase in of the MK-46 torpedo for that role by late 1967.
