An acoustic torpedo is a torpedo that aims itself by listening for characteristic sounds of its target or by searching for it using sonar (acoustic homing). Acoustic torpedoes are usually designed for medium-range use, and often fired from a submarine. Since its introduction, the acoustic torpedo has proven to be an effective weapon against surface ships as well as serving as an anti-submarine weapon. Today, acoustic torpedoes are mostly used against submarines.

  • An acoustic torpedo is a torpedo that aims itself by listening for characteristic sounds of its target or by searching for it using sonar (acoustic homing). Acoustic torpedoes are usually designed for medium-range use, and often fired from a submarine. The first passive acoustic torpedoes were developed nearly simultaneously by the United States Navy and the Germans during World War II. The Germans developed the G7e/T4 Falke, which was first deployed by the submarines U-603 , U-758 and U-221 in March 1943. Few of these torpedoes were actually used and quickly phased out of service in favor of the T4's successor, the G7es T5 Zaunkönig torpedo in August 1943. The T5 first saw widespread use in September 1943 against North Atlantic escort vessels and merchant ships in convoys. On the Allied side, the US Navy developed the Mark 24 mine, which was actually an aircraft launched, anti-submarine passive acoustic homing torpedo. The first production Mk. 24s were delivered to the U.S. Navy in March 1943, and it scored its first verified combat kills in May 1943. About 204 torpedoes were launched against submarine targets, with 37 Axis submarines being sunk and a further 18 damaged. Since its introduction, the acoustic torpedo has proven to be an effective weapon against surface ships as well as serving as an anti-submarine weapon. Today, acoustic torpedoes are mostly used against submarines. (en)
  • Un torpedo acústico es un torpedo que se guía mediante la escucha de sonidos característicos de su objetivo o mediante la búsqueda utilizando sonar (Enganche acústico). Los torpedos acústicos normalmente se diseñan para un empleo de medio-rango, y a menudo se disparan desde un submarino. (es)
  • Torpedo akustik adalah torpedo yang mencari atau membidik dengan mendengarkan dari targetnya atau mencarinya dengan menggunakan sonar. Torpedo akustik biasanya dirancang untuk penggunaan jarak menengah, dan sering kali ditembakkan dari kapal selam. Torpedo akustik pasif pertama dikembangkan hampir bersamaan oleh Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat dan Jerman selama Perang Dunia II. Jerman mengembangkan , yang pertama kali dikerahkan oleh kapal selam , dan pada Maret 1943. Beberapa torpedo akustik sebenarnya digunakan dan dengan cepat dihapus dari layanan demi pengganti T4, pada bulan Agustus 1943. T5 pertama kali digunakan secara luas pada September 1943 melawan kapal pengawal Atlantik Utara dan kapal dagang dalam konvoi. Di pihak Sekutu, Angkatan Laut AS mengembangkan ranjau Mark 24, dan sebenarnya adalah sebuah torpedo berpandu akustik pasif antikapal selam yang diluncurkan dari pesawat. Mk. 24 produksi pertama dikirim ke Angkatan Laut AS pada bulan Maret 1943, dan torpedo itu mencetak penghancuran pertamanya dalam pertempuran pada Mei 1943. Sekitar 204 torpedo diluncurkan terhadap target kapal selam, sejumlah 37 kapal selam Poros tenggelam dan 18 lainnya rusak. Sejak diperkenalkan, torpedo akustik telah terbukti sebagai senjata yang efektif melawan kapal permukaan serta berfungsi sebagai senjata antikapal selam. Saat ini, torpedo akustik sebagian besar digunakan untuk melawan kapal selam. (in)
