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. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "Our country, right or wrong.
