INSTRUCTIONS
VTOL Up: Retract Landing Gear
Group 1: Release Torpedo
Group 2: Activate Torpedo Propeller
Pull up continuously until takeoff, then retract gear. Easiest to take off from the carrier. Make sure to line up your nose with the target and activate groups 1 and 2 in rapid succession to preserve accuracy and safety.

Thank you @BRuthless
thanks @FennVectorCWA I spent about 6 hours of designing, building and testing to get it to work perfectly
Terrific
Score:
Lethality: 5 (can take out medium ships with one hit, larger ships require two torpedoes)
Speed: 4 (not the fastest but also not the slowest)
Stability/Accuracy: 8 (stable flight, a bit jumpy on touchdown, makes large right hand turns in the water and jumps up and down slightly, but never get's too unstable to continue the ride)
Compatibility/Size: 2 (the large propeller makes it hard to fit it on normal aircrafts, but it could be worse)
Maximum launch altitude: 9 (can be launched at all tested altitudes up to 1500 feet ASL without any failures)
Minimum launch distance: 5 (drops pretty quickly, so you can even hit the target when launching at very close distance without ramming your aircraft into the target)
Maximum launch distance: 6 (just limited by the large turns it makes, otherwise it could go forever, but this way you would have to fly parallel to the target to hit at 4 nm distance)
Looks: 2 (not an eye-catcher but also not disgusting)
Total: 41

thank you @Hadesrocksz
Thanks @SUPERSAMROCK I did my best with it lol. The torpedo propeller needed to be big enough to push it at a high enough speed to detonate on contact
Cool, allthough the size of the torpedo is huge comparitivly
