A torpedo is a self-propelled underwater weapon with an explosive warhead. It can be launched by aircraft, ship, or submarine, against surface vessels or submarines.
Torpedoes use monopropellants (e.g., Otto Fuel) as engine fuel, which has its own oxidizer, since there isn't any oxygen to sustain a combustion engine underwater otherwise.
