A lightweight, miniature torpedo (12) has a contact and attachment assembly (22) that is operable to hold the torpedo (12) to a ship's hull in response to contact with the ship's hull, a chamber (24) containing a plurality of flammable elements (132) that are sequentially ignited and burn against the ship's hull at a combustion temperature that is higher than a melting temperature of the material of the ship's hull, and a propulsion and steering assembly (26) that propels and directs the torpedo (12) through water to the ship's hull. The torpedo (12) is constructed with a size and weight that enables it to be carried by and launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle. |
