The Long Range Torpedo is an underwater ranged-weapon launched above or below the water surface, self-propelled towards a target, and with an explosive warhead designed to detonate either on contact with or in proximity to the target.
Description[edit]
A long range torpedo (LRT) system is similar to the long range missile launcher, but—instead of flying through the air—missiles from this weapon traverse water.[1]
No Streak or Narc versions of torpedoes are known to exist. No known special munition types are known to exist for torpedo launchers either. An Artemis IV FCS could be used with a torpedo launcher.
Since the LRT is based on the standard LRM system, it is available in the same sizes:
