Never heard of a nuclear tipped version of it, any links with any info?

well there may not be a need for it.
since a MK48 ADCAP can be wire guided initially from information from the submarines sonar... and once in proximity to the target cut loose to use its passive/active homing system the chance are good for a solid contact type hit. and with a 19 foot body...well it isnt carrying just a little warhead to the target.
id say you put enough of these after a deep typhoon..and it could be bye bye time for the sub.
