Torpedo Junction was a term applied to any area during WWII that had a lot of ship sinkings from torpedoes (usually launched from submarines; and not destroyers, planes, or torpedo boats).
The same rule applied to "ambush alley". Every war has an "ambush alley." Anytime military personnel get ambushed or otherwise have a gun battle or get shot at when passing down a certain road, highway, trail, etc. they title it, an "ambush alley."
However, naval wars are a lot rarer than ground wars, and the last major naval war was WWII. The last large scale naval combat was the Falklands War in 1982 (between Britain and Argentina). The last important use of the torpedo was the Vietnam War, when on 02 August 1964 North Viet Navy torpedo boats attacked the USN destroyer USS Maddox in the Tonkin Gulf helping to ignite the Vietnam War. Torpedoes were launched at the Maddox, but scored no hits; but war was commenced against North Vietnam that same month.
