# Baek Sang Eo (White Shark) torpedo

K731 Baek Sang Eo (White Shark) torpedo (Hangul: 백상어 어뢰) is a submarine-launched torpedo developed by the Republic of Korea Navy in 2004. Production was delayed for a year after a program error in the guidance system resulted in 2 failed tests in 2003. This glitch was fixed while developing the Blue Shark torpedo; a more lightweight variant. Production cost for each torpedo is at about 950 million won (US$790,000).
