Silent, fast, and deadly — the Mk 48 torpedo is the unseen fist of the U.S. Navy’s submarine force. Built to hunt deep-diving enemies and crush surface ships alike, it has patrolled the world’s oceans since the 1970s.
What began as a Cold War necessity evolved into a precision weapon that defines modern undersea warfare even today.
It is the primary torpedo carried by U.S. attack subs and is one of the most capable one in the world.
The weapon is carried by all US Navy submarines, including Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines and Seawolf-, Los Angeles-, and Virginia-class attack submarines.
