Pictured is a Royal Air Force Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft releasing a torpedo for the first time. In a training flight conducted over the Moray Firth a Poseidon (P-8A) aircraft operated by 120 Sqn, RAF Lossiemouth, dropped a recoverable exercise variant of the Mark 54 Lightweight Torpedo, simulating an attack on a submarine. The MK 54 is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine warfare (ASW) torpedo Which can be used in both deep and shallow waters. It is capable of tracking, classifying, and attacking underwater targets. Five Mark 54’s can be carried in the Poseidon's internal weapons bay. The high-explosive warheads on the live torpedoes pack a devastating punch sufficient to destroy enemy submarines that the Poseidon crew can locate and track using state-of-the-art equipment.
