The US Navy’s submarine service is easily the most powerful ever fielded in the history of submarine warfare. Consisting of Los Angeles, Seawolf, Virginia and Ohio-class boats, this all-nuclear force is silent and deadly, prowling the world’s waterways without anybody the wiser.

While the unlimited range, the quiet and very stealthy nature of these combat vessels makes them incredibly dangerous, it’s their armament that plays the biggest part in making them the most lethal killing machines traversing the oceans today.

The ADCAP Mod 7 (CBASS)* version they talk about at the end was a joint effort between the US and Australia.  It's more than 10 years old, and the MK48 is something like 45-50 years old.  Amazingly good for its age.
