The modern torpedo is a self-propelled weapon with an explosive warhead, launched above or below the water surface, propelled underwater towards a target, and designed to detonate either on contact with its target or in proximity to it.
Historically, it was called an automotive, automobile, locomotive or fish torpedo; colloquially called a fish. The term torpedo was originally employed for a variety of devices, most of which would today be called mines. From about 1900, torpedo has been used strictly to designate an underwater self-propelled weapon. The original torpedo is a kind of fish: an electric ray.
While the battleship had evolved primarily around engagements between armoured ships with large-caliber guns, the torpedo allowed torpedo boats and other lighter surface ships, submersibles, and later, aircraft to destroy large armoured ships without the use of large guns, though sometimes at the risk of being hit by longer-range shellfire.
Today's torpedoes can be divided into lightweight and heavyweight classes; and into straight-running, autonomous homers, and wire-guided. They can be launched from a variety of platforms.

Pasensya na
kung ako ay di nagsasalita
Hindi ko kayang sabihin
ang aking nadarama.
Wag mo na akong pilitin
ako ay walang lakas ng loob
para tumanggi.
Walang dapat ipagtaka
ako ay ipinanganak na torpe
sa ayaw at hndi.
Pasensya na kung ikaw
ay naiinis ayoko na sanang
pag usapan pa
Kung gusto mo ay manuod
ka na lang ng sine
diba huwebes ngayon
baka may bago ng palabas.
Huwag mo na akong pilitin
ako ay walang lakas ng loob
para tumanggi
walang dapat ipagtaka ako ay
ipinanganak na torpe diyan
sa tabi tabi.
Pasensya na kung ako
ay naiiyak mababaw lang talaga ang luha ko
di ko mapigil ang aking damdamin
pwede bang umalis ka na at
tumutunog na ang beeper ko
She said you're a living legend I said thank you kindly ma'am
She said don't be so mug I don't mean good
I said I beg your pardon I just don't understand
She said that's all right I never thought you would
Oh she was a torpedo she got me in the engine
I never saw the bomb she threw at me
Oh she was a torpedo and when she exploded
I closed my eyes and sank beneath the sea
[ steel ]
She said I'd like to know you better I said honey here I am
She said don't move so fast I'm kind of shy
I said I beg you pardon she said I'm not that kind of girl
She took her beer and hit me in the eye
Oh she was a torpedo and I was her tanker
I knew right then she should be left alone
Oh she was a torpedo and I was her target
I closed my eyes and sank beneath the foam
[ guitar - steel ]
She said she'd never leave me and she'd treat me like a king
I told her that I'd love her all my life
She took me to the cleaners then she drove me up the wall
She borrowed my last dime and called my wife
Oh she was a torpedo and I was a tanker
I never should have met her in that bar
She was a torpedo and when she was loaded
She wrecked my life and then she wrecked my car
Oh she was a torpedo she got me in the engine
I never saw the bomb she threw at me
Oh she was a torpedo and when she exploded
If I knew that there was any other way to you
I'd walk ??? miles
Any other way got close to you
But you I could never share
Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way
And everything I have to say
Has probably been said many better ways
Sometimes I have you in my head
And loving with you - I am happy
I think of things to say to you
Of evenings respenting?? another place
And everything feels so good here
Hand in hand in this other place
The things I do make you stare
Oh I wouldn't have it any other way
I sit alone and take care of my head
Or the feelings that I have in front of me
Changes that we could've made
All the things we could've done together
But you I could never share
Oh I wouldn't have it any other way
And everything I have to say
So come on torpedo
So come on torpedo
I know how to take a right hook
I know how to put a shot back
I know how to fake a hard look
When I just about done lost everything that I had
They've been hunting me for decades
Barracudas on a warpath
But they'll never get me
I will not idly go, I got too much to fight for
So come on torpedo do your worst
Get me right in the heart, blow me up 'til you see my ghost
But I will not lay down in the road
I will not make it easy
I ain't got no saints or saviors
This is guerrilla and I will fight this war
So come on torpedo
Just a little more morphine
A little peace while I writhe
I'll get back into it easy
Saddle up my horse and ride like a wildfire
There's no water so wicked
No rapid so ruthless
This may be the way I die
But I gotta try for the other side
So come on torpedo do your worst
Get me right in the heart, blow me up 'til you see my ghost
But I will not lay down in the road
I will not make it easy
I ain't got no saints or saviors
This is guerrilla and I will fight this war
So come on torpedo
Heart in my throat, dirt on my nose
Dark diamond in my eyes, will my demons ever die?
Heart in my throat, dirt on my nose
Dark diamond in my eyes, will my demons ever die?
So come on torpedo do your worst
Get me right in the heart, blow me up 'til you see my ghost
But I will not lay down in the road
I will not make it easy
I ain't got no saints or saviors
This is guerrilla and I will fight this war
So come on torpedo
