Hunting Torpedo Bombers

Hunting torpedo bombers were military aircraft designed primarily during World War II to locate and destroy enemy ships using torpedoes. They operated from aircraft carriers or land bases, equipped with radar and sensors to spot targets at sea. Once they identified a hostile vessel, they would approach carefully and launch a torpedo—an underwater missile designed to damage or sink ships. These bombers played a crucial role in naval warfare, combining advanced detection technology with precise weapon delivery to neutralize enemy surface ships effectively.
