Just picking nits here, but I thought that Mk. 54 had the Mk. 50's
100lb shaped-charge warhead on the Mk. 46 propulsion system, not just
the Mk. 50 seeker. I could be wrong, though.

That's both my recall and what Wikipedia says

If you go to:

and scroll down to the "Mine and Undersea Warfare" section, you'll get
to this part:

"The MK54 torpedo integrates the proven technologies of the MK46
propulsion system and warhead with the MK50 sonar. State-of-the-art
digital signal processing based on COTS technology will improve
effectiveness and maintainability, and reduce costs. Due to arrive to
the fleet in 2003, the MK54 will replace the older MK46 torpedo with a
far superior, upgradable ASW weapon capable of countering all threats. "
