Navy SH-60F Helicopter Update Mk-46 Torpedo, Flag Circle, SH-2F, Coronado, Ca, August 24, 2023

We have located a complete, inert, MK-46 Torpedo shape (505 lbs) with a appropriate Navy container, a MK 525 Torpedo Container, in the Gyrodyne Foundation/Museum in Reno, Nevada.   The museum has agreed to transfer the torpedo and container to the CO, NAB Coronado for display on the SH-60F Helicopter at the front gate. We had a look at the SH-2F on display at Flag Circle, NAB Coronado and it’s MK-46 torpedo this morning including pictures of how it is mounted, painted and displayed.

VRM-30 may pick up the torpedo and container at Reno-Stead (AFB) and fly it to North Island via MV-22 Osprey Aircraft. They are looking for they opportunity of actually flying a torpedo and container in an Osprey for training purposes.
