torpedo bombers
Underwater missile aircraft
Torpedo bombers are military aircraft designed to attack ships by dropping torpedoes into the water.
These planes fly low over the sea to release their weapons, which then travel underwater toward their targets.
Torpedo bombers played a decisive role in World War II naval warfare, including Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway, but became obsolete as guided missiles replaced torpedoes.
