You're probably right.
I trusted the net, googled
for the title, and

just looked for the best
picture Google came up with.
It's from this site, here:

  MK-48 ADCAP TORPEDO

[75thOVI]

I'm not exactly sure which torpedo that is in the picture, there are a couple of surface ship launched torps that look similar. I think they are of the Mk-44/46 variety. I am absolutely certain that fish is not a Mk-48. Further Mk-48s do not sink their targets by blowing nice neat holes in the outer casing. They sink their targets by blowing bloody great holes in their pressure hulls. This story broke a week or two ago on the submarine BBSs. Just my opinion, but I consider it one step below "BigFoot Stole Elvis's Brain!" Considering the source, you could make that two steps.

Correcto-mundo, Bob. The shot is of a Mk-46, designed for launch from surface ships or aircraft. The actual source of FIRM's shot is this site.

The site has a nice comparison of currently used US Navy torpedoes, and you'll note the obvious diameter & length differences between the Mk 48 and all the others. Sub torpedo tubes are 21" bore; surface ship tubes are more like 13" - 15" or so.
