    The Mark 46 torpedo is the primary lightweight anti-submarine torpedo used by the US Navy and many other NATO countries. It has a range of 12,000 yards, can reach depths of over 1,200 feet, and speeds over 40 knots. The Mark 46 Mod 5 variant introduced in 1979 is expected to remain in service until 2015. Several other countries also use variants of the Mark 46 torpedo, such as the Chinese Yu-7 torpedo based on the Mark 46 Mod 2.

    The Mark 46 torpedo is the backbone of the United States Navy's lightweight anti-submarine
    warfare torpedo inventory, and is the current NATO standard. These aerial torpedoes are
    designed to attack high-performance submarines, and current variants, such as the Mark 46 Mod
    5, are expected to remain in service until 2015. In 1989 a major upgrade program for the Mod 5
    began to improve its shallow-water performance, resulting in the Mod 5A and Mod 5A(S).
