MK48 Torpedo

This is the Australian Submarine Navy doing a live

torpedo practice shot on one of their decommissioned ships.

They used a Mk 48 torpedo developed in the USA .

It is non nuclear and not a contact weapon.

It is designed to go off directly underneath the ship at

about 50 feet under the keel.

The effect is devastating as you can see from the video.

Re: MK48 Torpedo

we built them right here in downtown Hopkins Minnesota. Walked through many racks of them, as well as the Mk 46's, during my time at the company in the 80's.
