Do torps really use trailing wire guidance now?...they sure
didn't when I was involved in ASW between 1951 and 77. Matter of
fact I never heard of that before, (although some 'missiles' do).

Air-launched lightweight torpedoes don't, with one notable exception -- the
Swedish 400mm series (Tp 42, 43, and 46; no relation to US designations).

Heavyweight submarine-launched torpedoes gernerally do. There are
exceptions, of course, but a modern heavyweight is more likely than not to
have wire guidance.
