The author describes the Sting Ray torpedo. The environments to which it is subjected and how they have influenced design, particularly of the casing, are discussed. The propulsion system is a magnesium-silver chloride battery with a seawater electrolyte driving an electric motor. The acoustic detection and tracking system and the homing and guidance system are also described. The warhead is of the directed energy type.
