Sting Ray has a diameter of 324 mm (12¾ inches) and a length of around 2.6 metres (8.5 feet). It has a launch weight of 267 kg (589 lb), and carries a 45 kg (99 lb) Torpex warhead. It has a speed of 83 km/h (45 Knots ) over a range of 8,000 metres (4.3 Nautical Mile s). Sting Ray Mod 1 is intended to prosecute the same threats as Sting Ray Mod 0 but with an enhanced capability against small clad conventional submarines via a Shaped-charge warhead, and an improved shallow-water performance. It shares many hull components with the original weapon. Stingray Mod 0 also uses a shaped charge warhead. MYSTERIOUS DEATHS Since work started on the Stingray torpedo over 25 top scientists working on the project have died in suspicious circumstances. The story first was pushed by Computer News magazine during the mid to late 1980's. See Marconi Scientists USERS |
