Parent topics
- Guided missile [r]: A weapon that flies through air or space, under its own power, which adjusts its course to hit its target. [e]
- Naval warfare [r]: The military history of the organized navies of the world from 300 BCE to the present. [e]
Subtopics
- Anti-shipping missile [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Anti-submarine warfare [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Anti-surface warfare [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Mine (naval warfare) [r]: A naval explosive weapon that waits passively for a target to come into its range, and then detonates or releases a mobile weapon once its sensors detect an appropriate target [e]
- Maritime patrol aircraft [r]: Very long range, usually land-based, aircraft optimized for sea surveillance, originally principally for anti-submarine warfare but often with anti-surface warfare capabilities; newer types also have land and littoral surveillance roles [e]
- Torpedo bomber [r]: Now obsolete, but a naval bomber optimized for making a long, straight, slow and level approach to a target ship, to drop a heavy torpedo within a critical set of flight parameters [e]
- Submarine [r]: A ship or boat that can travel underwater [e]
Specific torpedoes
Japan
- Long Lance (torpedo) [r]: WWII Japanese torpedo, straight-running and unguided, but longer-range and probably more accurate than any other torpedo of the war; also known as Type 93 [e]
- Type 93 (torpedo) [r]: WWII Japanese torpedo, straight-running and unguided, but longer-range and probably more accurate than any other torpedo of the war; also known as Long Lance [e]
Russia
- Shkval (torpedo) [r]: Russian/Soviet torpedo of revolutionary design, traveling, at relatively short range, in bubble of supercavitation at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour; probably unguided and may have nuclear warhead [e]
- Type 65 (torpedo) [r]: Soviet/Russian guided torpedo, probably the largest in the world at 650mm diameter, designed to follow the wake of a large warship target, especially an aircraft carrier [e]
United Kingdom
- Mark 8 torpedo [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Spearfish torpedo [r]: Add brief definition or description
United States
- Mark 46 torpedo [r]: Lightweight antisubmarine torpedo, primarily air-dropped but also ship-launched for close-in defense [e]
- Mark 48 torpedo [r]: U.S. heavyweight submarine-launched torpedo with bidirectional wire link to launcher, and autonomous active sonar; later versions known as Mk 48 ADCAP (advanced capability); uses liquid monopropellant; can engage subsurface and surface targets [e]
- Mark 50 torpedo [r]: Add brief definition or description
- RUM-139 Vertical Launch ASROC [r]: A surface-to-underwater missile consisting of a guided booster that delivers a homing antisubmarine torpedo to a distant location [e]
Defense
- Torpedo bulge [r]: An extension of the underwater armor of warships, intended to cause torpedoes to predetonate before their blast can affect the main armor; generally obsolete against modern weapons [e]
- SLQ-25 [r]: Add brief definition or description
