Laboratory tests were made to study the launch of the Mk 46 torpedo from the deck of high-speed surface ships. Bow, stern, and amidship launch tube azimuth angles with different amounts of depression were tested. The torpedo used was a 1/2.125 scale model internally instrumented with accelerometers to provide water-entry impact loads. High-speed photographic coverage provided trajectory data. Test results indicated that under most launch conditions acceptable water entry occurred.
