The Mark 32 can fire 12.75-inch (324 mm) torpedoes of the Mark 44, Mark 46, Mark 50 (from the Mod 17 tubes onwards), [3] [4] and Mark 54 [citation needed] designs, and can be modified to use other torpedoes (such as the MU90 Impact aboard Royal Australian Navy frigates, or Royal Navy units using Sting Ray torpedoes).
The Mark 32 was withdrawn from service use with the introduction of the Mark 43 torpedo. Ten were manufactured by Leeds & Northrup , Philadelphia during War II, and about 3,300 were manufactured by a combination of the Philco Corporation , Philadelphia, and the Naval Ordnance Plant , Forest Park, Illinois .

The Type 97 is compatible with all warships equipped with Mark 32 torpedo tubes commonly used to launch the Mark 46. It is also used as a payload for the Type 07 VLS. [18] The newer Type 12 torpedo is based on the Type 97 torpedo body and shares numerous elements of its construction.
The initial design retained the Fletchers' heavy torpedo armament of 10 21-inch (533 mm) tubes in two quintuple mounts, firing the Mark 15 torpedo. As the threat from kamikaze aircraft mounted in 1945, and with few remaining Japanese warships to use torpedoes on, most of the class had the aft quintuple 21-inch torpedo tube mount replaced by an ...
Also for ASW purposes, two triple Mk 32 torpedo tubes for the Mk 46 ASW torpedo were installed. These cruisers were initially converted into all-missile warships with no naval guns, but later on, two open-mount Mk 24 5-inch (127 mm) 38 calibre guns were added to the port side and the starboard side, near their aft exhaust stacks.
They were powered by steam turbines instead of diesel engines and incorporated a first class anti-submarine warfare (ASW) weapon system: the SQS-26BX sonar, MK 112 ASROC rocket launcher, and MK 32 torpedo tubes. Gun (naval artillery) armament (MK 33 3 inch/50 caliber) was changed in the Garcia class to two MK 30 5 inch/38 caliber guns.
