Navy weapons developers are seeking a high-tech, longer range and more lethal submarine-launched heavyweight Mk 48 that can better destroy enemy ships, submarines and small boats, service officials said.

The service has issued a new solicitation to industry, asking for proposals and information related to pursuing new and upgraded Mk 48 torpedo control systems, guidance, sonar and navigational technology.

Crappy article.

80 years ago the Japanese developed a torpedo that could deliver a 1000lb warhead to a range of 25 miles at 36 knots.

Didn't have GPS tho.
