The energy output of a photon torpedo, according to the Star Trek Technical Manuals is a maximum theoretical yield of 25 isotons and a maximum rated yield of 18.5 isotons. According to Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual , photon torpedoes use 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb) of matter and the same amount of antimatter.

A light torpedo used primarily as a close attack weapon, particularly by aircraft. The 12.75 in (32.4 cm) caliber has been described as a NATO standard for this class. [87] A heavy torpedo used primarily as a standoff weapon, particularly by submerged submarines. The 21 in (53 cm) caliber is a common standard. [88]
Voyager housed five standard torpedo launchers (two fore, two aft, one ventral) and was able to fire up to four torpedoes per launcher at once. [23] In the final episode, an alternate future Kathryn Janeway equipped the ship with transphasic torpedoes and ablative hull armor. [2]
The photon torpedo has 1.5 kilograms, and produces 270 petajoules; this is correct, since 180+90=270 (1kg+0.5kg=1.5kg). So, the power of the photon torpedo explosion should be lower than 64.44mt. The problem could be that about half of an antimatter explosion's power is released as EM and neutrinos, and neutrinos do not react with anything thus ...
DM2A4 Seehecht (export designation "SeaHake mod 4" [3]) is the latest heavyweight torpedo developed by Atlas Elektronik for the German Navy, as a further update of DM2 (Deutsches Modell 2) torpedo which was released in 1976.
The A244/S is an Italian lightweight, fire-and-forget torpedo employed for anti-submarine warfare. It can be launched from surface vessels or aircraft and locates the target using an acoustic seeker. The torpedo body conforms to the NATO 12.75-inch (323.8 mm) standard and is compatible with USN Mark 32 torpedo tubes.
Previously operational as early as 1977, the torpedo was announced as being deployed in the 1990s. [2] The Shkval is intended as a countermeasure against torpedoes launched by undetected enemy submarines. [2] Shkval nose cone Shkval rear, showing the guidance fins and the electronics connector
