  | HMAS Waller, the first submarine to successfully fire a new heavyweight Torpedo that has been jointly developed by Australia and the United States. The firing occurred during the Rim of the Pacific 2008 (RIMPAC 08) exercise, involving multiple navies off the coast of Hawaii between June and July. This controlled exercise resulted in the planned sinking of a retired US warship. The MK 48 Mod 7 Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS) Torpedo is the latest enhancement for the MK 48. Considered the worlds premier submarine-launched Torpedo the MK 48 Mod 7 represents a superior capability against both surface ships and submarines with sonar enhancements that make the Torpedo an effective weapon in shallow water and in a countermeasure environment.
