ESPRIT DELTA IV TORPEDO
� e Delta IV is a lightweight torpedo intended to be launched
from hard points on aircra� or from remote � xed installations on
smaller ships. � e concept is to provide a quick-response weapon
to counter incoming submerged weapons, or to force attacking
submarines to engage in self-defense maneuvering and allow the
launching vessel to escape. Aircra� launches are an e� ective way to
protect an asset before the intruder gets close enough to launch their
own strike.
