Welcome to the current Navy. It's almost like the Air Force. Give 'em a couple of years.

#6  Anonymoose,

The Mark 54 is an air-dropped weapon, not a submarine-launched weapon.

#4  Question: all our attack submarines are listed as having Mark 48 torpedoes. However, against Chinese submarines, wouldn't it be better to use Mark 54-LHT torpedoes?

What's the scoop?

#2  Oh yeah, and Xiangshan is right near where I live. The HQ of the entire East Sea Fleet is about 20 minutes away. :)
