Armed Merchantmen III.

This is coolbert:

Torpedo Los!!

In particular those surface-launched torpedoes of the MU90 variety MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THE ARMED MERCHANTMAN.

"MU90 Surface Launched Lightweight Torpedo - DCNS"

"Its impressive embedded acoustic and dynamic capabilities also allow the use of the weapon in anti-surface missions and, with few adaptations, in anti-torpedo roles."

That MU90 a joint French/Italian venture with many cloned versions existing, INCLUDING A CHINESE KNOCK-OFF!!

That embedded YouTube video particularly impressive. The MU90 is the little torpedo that can!!

THE INCORPORATION OF THE MU90 ALLOW ALMOST ANY MERCHANTMAN TO BECOME A NAVAL HUNTER/KILLER VESSEL WITH SOME EXTRAORDINARY CAPABILITY!

Useful in the anti-submarine warfare [ASW] role exclusively so? NOT able to engage surface vessels. The MU90 warhead a shaped-charge ONLY!

Italian military hardware designers as having been noted by the Soviet defector Suvorov:

"the Italians have very good brains, the brains of great inventors."

Without question, unequivocally so!!
