Historical information:

The Mk.44 torpedo was developed in the United States in the late 1950s as a lightweight torpedo intended for use by patrol aircraft, ASW helicopters, and Navy ships. In US Navy service, it was mainly used during the Cold War (1960–1990). It was the primary anti-submarine weapon carried by aircraft such as the Lockheed P-2 Neptune, P-3 Orion, S-2 Tracker, and SH-3 Sea King helicopters. The Mk.44 torpedo also saw widespread use among NATO allied countries, becoming one of the most recognizable ASW armaments of its time.
