	While I no longer remember what the right acronym is, I would
    think that non-nuclear, rocket launched torpedoes would be a Good
    Thing.  I could understand not wanting to shoot a nuke armed torp only
    five miles away.  I would think that adding five extra miles to the
    range of say a Mk48 would make some ASW Frigate Captain's day.

	So my question is, do we have non-nuclear rocket launched
    torpedoes?  How effective are they?  Are they in common use?

	Could a missile the size of the Russian Kelt carry one?
