Abstract
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. The trials and production of Sting Ray are also discussed
