MK 48 Torpedo

The MK 48 Torpedo is a highly advanced underwater weapon used by naval forces, primarily the U.S. Navy. Designed for attacking submarines and surface ships, it is equipped with sophisticated guidance systems that allow it to home in on targets. Weighing approximately 3,000 pounds and measuring about 21 feet long, it can travel at high speeds and cover significant distances. The torpedo carries an explosive warhead and operates autonomously once launched. Its effectiveness and precision make it a critical asset in modern naval warfare, enhancing a navy's ability to engage threats beneath the waves.
