Hrm. Subs only.

I really think we're at the point where you need heavyweight speed and range for airdropped and surface launched ASW torpedoes. Modern nuclear and lithium battery subs can have enough acceleration to outrun/exhaust even a Mk48 if you're not close enough at launch.

So, I'm thinking a ~1500lb ASW torpedo with reduced warhead and Mk48/Spearfish engine and fuel tank.

Might as well bring back the Mk37.

Or consider the Swedish 400mm ASW torpedo diameter. With the possible advent of smaller anti-torpedo torpedos for the low end, I could see the development of larger lightweight torpedos or shortened heavyweight torpedos suitable for underwater, surface or air launch.

The batteries are the problem there, and I'm not sure there's a better one-time battery than Silver-Zinc.
