Am wondering what a typical loadout for a US sub was during a patrol in 1968 and 1984. Declassified USN documents show the USS Scorpion was carrying 2 Mk 45 ASTOR torpedoes, 7 Mk 14-5's, 4 Mk 37-0, and 10 Mk 37-1's when she was lost in May 1968.
Haven't been able to find stats on Mk 48 torpedo production (congressional documents are sanitized), but the Mk 37-2 was kept in the fleet until 1975.
Yours, &c.
Mike
