Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 330-PS-8740 (USN 659661): The U.S. Navy’s latest acoustic-homing torpedo, the MK 32, drops into the sea to seek out its target. Once contact as been made 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).
