+Typhoid 231 Posted July 25, 2008 It is possible to stuff that much punch in a torpedo but they say the navy rejected the idea as being dishonorable. and completely ineffective! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted July 25, 2008 The US Mk 45 torpedo (anti-submarine) had a warhead with an 11kt. yield. Close to that of the 13-16kt. yield of the Hiroshima bomb. The nuclear torpedo was later abandoned when the Mk. 48 proved to be fast and accurate enough to do the job with conventional explosives. we called it Astor. Yep, dumped in favor of the Mk-48 and surface/air-dropped Mk-46, both of which are conventional. ASROC and Nuke Torpedos.....Anybody remember the movie The Bedford Incident with Richard Widmark and Sidney Portier? GREAT FLICK!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
