Torpedo

A torpedo at the time of early aero meant an underwater explosive weapon, normally a self-propelled one. The term may have had a broader meaning then than it does now, and include those that were not self-propelled or were stationary like what we now call underwater mines.

Torpedo work was generally outside the margins of aero development so we can include or exclude at will for now.
