The mk50 torpedo can destroy nuclear subs no problem.
(the mk. 50 is one of ours, however with the espionage our navy suffered in the last decade who knows)
China will go to war with Taiwan before 2049, likely with us as well.
Mk 50 is decades old.
Most Navy hardware is. That doesn't change my point.
Speed hasn't been an issue for a while. Hitting a target equipped with modern countermeasures is much harder than it used to be.
