anti-submarine torpedo

An anti-submarine torpedo is a self-guided weapon designed to detect and destroy underwater submarines. Launched from ships, submarines, or aircraft, it uses sonar to locate its target by listening for underwater sounds. Once it locks onto a submarine, it travels underwater at high speed to intercept and neutralize the threat, often by detonating near or inside the submarine. These torpedoes are a crucial part of naval defense, helping to maintain control of maritime areas and protect ships from underwater attacks.
