Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 330-PS-8740 (USN 659659): With heavy seas breaking over her bow, a U.S. Navy destroyer prepares to launch the Navy’s latest acoustic-homing torpedo, the MK 32, against a simulated “enemy” contact during recent anti-submarine warfare training exercises held in the North Atlantic. Equipped with this type of torpedo, surface units of today’s Navy pose an even greater threat to “enemy” submarines than before. The MK32 is capable of tracking down and sinking submarines. In addition to homing capabilities, its ease of launching makes it a readily adaptable weapon. The MK32 does not have to be fired from a torpedo tube but is merely tossed over the side of a ship from an open launcher. Once in the water, its homing characteristics guide it to the target. Photograph released January 15, 1968. (12/16/2014).
