Did the Japanese rely on the torpedo bombers to destroy the American fleet?
Yes. Although bombs can destroy & sink warships; the best tools for the job are, torpedoes for sinking ships, and bombs for wrecking the topside AAA positions. A typical (good) tactic: Dive bombers go in first (to avoid collisions with the torpedo planes) and hit the topside defenses (AAA sites). The Torpedo planes go in, timed just as the dive bombers are leaving, and launch the ship sinking under-water missiles. WWII Torpedo holes averaged about 35 feet in diameter. Plenty of room for ocean water to come crashing through.
Does oxygen launch missiles?
No - Ballistic missiles are ejected in an air bubble, using compressed air while the boat is at periscope depth. When the missile clears the water surface, its solid fuel rocket motor ignites, sending it on its way to the target. Cruise missiles can be launched by VLS (Vertical Launch System) tubes, or by standard torpedo tubes. Torpedo tube launches are performed by flooding the tube with water, and a piston ram system ejects the water and weapon out of the tube, where its motor ignites. VLS launches are similar to BM launches in that they are ejected by air pressure.
