===List of active torpedoes by place of origin=== Modern heavyweight torpedoes are generally launched from submarines and are used to attack both surface ships and submarines. Relatively older heavyweight torpedoes were generally used to attack either surface ships or submarines. Modern lightweight torpedoes are launched from surface ships, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft and are used to attack submarines. ==== China ==== *Yu-11 torpedo (lightweight) *[[Yu-7 torpedo]] (lightweight) *[[Yu-6 torpedo]] (heavyweight) *[[Yu-5 torpedo]] (heavyweight) *[[Yu-4 torpedo]] (heavyweight) ====France==== [[File:MU90.jpg|thumb|right|[[MU90 Impact]] triple launcher onboard ''Hessen'', a {{sclass|Sachsen|frigate|1}} of the [[German Navy]].]] *[[F21 (torpedo)|F21]] torpedo (heavyweight) *[[F17 torpedo|F17]] torpedo (heavyweight) *[[MU90 Impact]] torpedo (lightweight) ====Germany==== [[File:Loading a SUT Torpedo into KRI Cakra 401.jpg|thumb|Loading of SUT Torpedo into Indonesian navy submarine, [[KRI Cakra (401)|KRI ''Cakra'' (401)]].]] * Seadpider anti-torpedo (lightweight) (Atlas Elektronik)<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-30 |title=Beschaffung von vier neuen U-Booten 212 CD für die Marine wird konkret |url=https://www.hartpunkt.de/beschaffung-von-vier-neuen-u-booten-212-cd-fuer-die-marine-wird-konkret/ |access-date=2024-11-30 |language=de}}</ref> * [[DM2A4]] torpedo (heavyweight) * DM2A3 torpedo (heavyweight) * [[SUT torpedo]] (heavyweight) ====India==== [[File:Varunastra.jpg|thumb|Varunastra heavyweight torpedo]] * [[Varunastra (Torpedo)|Varunastra]] (surface and submarine launched heavyweight torpedo)<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kumar|first=V.
