Are air- or rocket-delivered anti-submarine torpedoes still wire-guided after release?
Short answerThey generally home autonomously after release, though some wire-guided exceptions may remain.
NotesAir- or rocket-delivered anti-submarine torpedoes were understood to be moving away from wire guidance. Autonomous homing was the general pattern. The claim remains qualified because some wire-guided exceptions may have survived. This uncertainty prevents the broad pattern from becoming a universal claim about every torpedo in service.
