The MK-48 has a 295 kg (650 pound) warhead and uses a proximity fuze. There are numerous electronic devices on board to get around countermeasures. The MK-48 can be controlled from the sub via wire guidance and has onboard sonar to assist in finding targets and avoiding underwater obstacles. The MK-48 is a 533mm (21 inch), 1.7 ton weapon with a range of up to 74 kilometers (at 50 kilometers an hour) and a top speed of 102 kilometers an hour (at a range of 38 kilometers). The MK-48 entered service in 1971 as the Mod 1 and has been continually upgraded since then. are now on friendly terms American technicians will probably get a look at the torpedo the Vietnamese found, provide additional confirmation of what it is and collect data on how the Chinese adapted older Mk 48 tech to build their standard submarine torpedo. Sometimes the beacon fails and you have a lost torpedo. Most modern torpedoes have training versions in which the warhead is replaced with an inert (non-explosive) payload that includes electronics to record the performance of the torpedo as well as an electronic beacon so that the torpedo (which is rigged to float after use) can easily be found. weapons (mainly via Internet hacks) since 2005 but tech appears to have gone into the Yu 9 torpedo, which may still be in development and may supplement late model Yu 6s rather than replace them. China is also known to have stolen a lot of data on U.S. The Mk 48 Mod 4 entered service in 1982 and there was a remote chance the Chinese fishermen found one of these that had been lost. Chinese engineers spent over two decades reverse engineering key aspects of the Mk 48 while also retaining some characteristics of the older Russian torpedoes they were using. This weapon entered service in 2005 and was known to be based on an older Mk 48 Mod 3 that Chinese fishermen retrieved sometime around 1980. The torpedo looked like an American MK-48 meaning it was probably a training version of the Chinese Yu 6 torpedo. Before removal, many cell phone photos were taken and found their way to the Internet. The torpedo was put under guard until it could be removed for further examination. The police were called and they brought in a naval officer to confirm that it was a Chinese training torpedo that had not been retrieved after use. Part of it was painted red and it had Chinese language writing on it. Once on the beach, someone realized it appeared to be a torpedo (it was seven meters long, 533mm in diameter and had a propeller). In December 2018 a Vietnamese fisherman operating about eight kilometers off the coast of central Vietnam, spotted a large circular object floating nearby and, curious about that it might be, attached a rope to it and brought it onto a local beach.
