“a 1 kiloton nuclear antisubmarine bomb weighting 1,600kg”

That seems to be pretty massive for such a low yield. Compare to Davy Crockett or W51.

Unless it is housed in a maneuvering vehicle- even then that’s heavy.

Torpedo has entered the water.

High speed screws.

Torpedo has acquired.

I am not an expert but there is no compelling reason for a 1 kiloton bomb to weigh that much unless there’s other stuff involved.

My guess is there’s other stuff involved.
