well they made later warships, torpedoes and early submarines before 1900 so.... yeah research that :)
The worlds most powerful destroyer is the Sejong the Great class destroyer. These ships are operated by the Republic of Korea Navy. There are three in the current fleet with each having a capacity for 400 crew members. The weapons each ship is equipped with are 16 anti-ship missiles, 6 torpedoes, 3 cruise missiles, helicopters and a 1.5 inch naval gun.
The weapons that were used in World War 1 were rifles, machine guns, revolvers, rockets, zeppelins, tanks, planes, artillery, many kinds of warships, gases, and torpedoes.
Allied bombers in WWII carried HE or Firebombs for bombing cities, such as Dresden in Germany; which was heavily firebombed. US and Japanese bombers fighting naval battles deployed armor piercing bombs and general purpose bombs when trying to penetrate each other's warships. Some US and Japanese bombers carried torpedoes; which are nothing but under-water missiles. Fighters from all combatants were armed with either cannons or machineguns or both.
During WW 1, submarines played a major part of a major war for the first time. The role of a submarine was basically to use torpedoes to sink enemy warships and cargo vessels.
President Kennedy sent US warships to blockade Cuba and prevent Soviet ships from delivering more nuclear materials to Cuba. This led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
