US Navy torpedo modernization and new MK-58 CRAW/RAPTOR undersea weapons push

The article describes a congressionally mandated overhaul of U.S. Navy torpedo inventories, testing infrastructure, and surge production planning for a two-war scenario, plus efforts to improve resistance to advanced acoustic countermeasures. It also highlights emerging/new undersea weapons and countermeasures (e.g., MK-58 CRAW hard-kill anti-torpedo munition, RAPTOR low-cost heavyweight torpedo, and next-gen ADC MK6), indicating evolving undersea warfare capabilities rather than routine operations.
