Torpedoes - one perfectly shot torpedo could sink any ship, but you were also carrying around with you a very sensitive bomb that could sink your ship just as easily
The Germans
They were a very stealthy and efficient missle that could destroy ships from a safe position
Submarines used torpedoes in anti-shipping roles hoping to cripple the enemies ability to supply and reinforce points of conflict as well as to hamper the enemies economy .
Many different types of ammunition were used by various countries during World War II. Some were bombs dropped from airplanes, bullets shot from different types of guns, and torpedoes shot from submarines.
It made the U.S. look stronger, it stopped the war, Force Japan to surrender in World War 2, and looked cool doing so as you see on the link provided.
The Germans
Yes, before cruise missiles came about, submarines were armed solely with torpedoes and, more common in WW2, deck guns.
Torpedoes were a common naval weapon of war by 1914, and all naval powers used them.

Torpedoes are used during a time of war to sink other ships.
Mostly in the ocean.
A U-Boat was a German submarine that was used to fire torpedoes at ships and spy on the Brits.
The deadliest torpedo of WWII was the oxygen fuelled Japanese Long Lance torpedo.
Same as other combatants: Planes, tanks, and ships (bombs, bullets, and torpedoes).
Steam powered submarine torpedoes had a flaw when a submarine fired torpedoes in daylight. The torpedoes created a massive stream of bubbles that rose to the surface of the ocean and enemy ships could see that they were under attack. The bubble stream also gave away a submarine's position. This problem was solved for the Germans when they developed electric torpedoes. No bubbles were produced. The US Navy captured some of the enemy torpedoes and used them for models of their own new electric torpedoes.
