High-Altitude Torpedo Launch
The Navy has awarded LockMart a contract to demonstrate the release
of Mk-54 torpedoes from high altitudes and long standoff ranges. See: http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Navy...apability.html The article mentions the possible future use of Mk-54 against surface targets with this system, but would the Mk-54 (which has the Mk-46's 96lb warhead, and no under-the-keel detonation capability) really be useful in that role? Or is the Navy really worried about Sub-launched SAM's?
