Mk50 torpedo is in limited rate production.  46s will be
in the inventory for some time.

CAPTOR is a Mk46 moored in a capsule.  So it's called a mine.  
The seeker for the torpedo has the same limitations as the
actuating mechanisms for mines -- they may or may not be able
to tell friend from foe.
