Torpedo bombers

Torpedo bombers are military aircraft designed to attack ships by dropping torpedoes, which are explosive weapons that travel underwater to damage or sink vessels. These planes are equipped with specialized features for precise targeting and often operate at low altitudes and speeds to avoid enemy defenses. Historically, they played a key role in naval warfare, especially during World War II, by delivering powerful underwater missiles that could disable large ships. Modern use of torpedo bombers has declined, replaced by submarines and missile-equipped aircraft, but they were crucial for naval strategy and amphibious operations in their heyday.
