Torpedo

Torpedo

Torpedo - is a self-propelled explosive projectile that operates underwater and is designed to detonate upon contact or approaching a target. Torpedoes are weapons that can be dropped from submarines, ships, helicopters and airplanes. Until World War I, naval mines were also known as torpedoes, in this case fixed torpedoes, as opposed to conventional torpedoes. Torpedoes are also used as parts of other weapons; the Mark 46 torpedo used by the United States has become the main section of the ASROC system, and the CAPTOR mine uses a submerged sensor platform that launches a torpedo when a hostile contact is detected. Torpedo - é um projéctil explosivo auto-propulsionado que opera debaixo de água e é projectado para detonar ao entrar em contacto ou ao aproximar-se de um determinado alvo. Torpedos são armas que podem ser lançadas de submarinos, navios, helicópteros e aviões. Até à 1ª Guerra Mundial as minas navais eram também conhecidas por torpedos, neste caso torpedos fixos, por oposição aos convencionais, chamados então torpedos automóveis. Os torpedos são também utilizados como partes de outras armas; o torpedo Mark 46 utilizado pelos Estados Unidos tornou-se a secção principal do sistema ASROC, e a mina CAPTOR utiliza uma plataforma sensora submergida que lança um torpedo quando um contacto hostil é detectado.
