Subject: STINGRAY vs. MU90

Hello, If we compare these two torpedoes (stingray vs MU90), what would the advantages/downsides of each of them be? If a Navy has both, what will their choice be based on? Thanks!

Would be helpful if you'd have thrown us a few bones to get the conversation going.
Try these for starters:
 
 
MU90 Eurotorp website   (when the site works)
 
 
 
BAE's Stingray site (not a lot there)
 
If you want US efforts,
 
 
 
 
 
and Raytheon's pdf for the Mk 54 (not one of their more informative pdfs,..).
 
I see little reason why any given navy would see much sense in procuring both the MU90 and Stingray, or a combination of these latest ones.
 
If anything, it would more likely be a navy that was a longtime user of the Mk46 family
was in the process of upgrading to greater capabilities than any of the older-technology Mk46's had to offer, even though Raytheon's Mk54 is apparently in kitform to address the issues of antiquated capability in the Mk46s.

Thank you for your reply!

I had already read all those descriptions, and it seemed to me (from a layman's perspective) that they have more or less the same capabilities. Yet I am translating a text that mentions a Navy procuring both, which is why I wanted to know more about how these two torpedoes compare.
