torpedoes

Torpedoes are self-propelled underwater weapons designed to target and destroy ships or submarines. They are typically launched from submarines, surface ships, or aircraft, and use underwater guidance systems to track their target. Torpedoes travel silently through the water, often guided by sonar, and have explosive warheads that detonate upon reaching their target. Modern torpedoes can vary in range, speed, and sophistication, but their primary purpose is to serve as a strategic anti-ship or anti-submarine weapon in naval warfare.
