Torpedo

Self-propelled underwater weapon

A torpedo is an underwater ranged weapon launched above or below the water surface, self-propelled towards a target, with an explosive warhead designed to detonate either on contact with or in proximity to the target. Historically, such a device was called an automotive, automobile, locomotive, or fish torpedo; colloquially, a fish. The term torpedo originally applied to a variety of devices, most of which would today be called mines.
