The Mark 35 torpedo was the first of the United States Navy deep-diving anti-submarine torpedoes designed for surface launch.[2] This electrically propelled 21-inch (53-cm) torpedo was 162 inches (4.11 m) long, weighed 1770 lb (803 kg), and carried a 270 lb (122.5 kg) Torpex high explosive warhead.[3] This torpedo used one of the earliest active guidance systems and was introduced in 1949, and was classified as obsolete in the 1960s.[2]

The Mark 35 torpedo was originally specified as the intended payload for the Grebe missile, before being replaced by the Mark 41 due to weight concerns.[4]
