Examples from texts

On reaching the metal wires with which these vessels are nowadays honeycombed, this will excite an atmosphere of sparks which will at once explode the shells and torpedoes stored in their holds.
Arrivant aux fils métalliques dont sont sillonnés aujourd'hui ces navires, elles provoqueront une atmosphère d'étincelles qui fera éclater aussitôt les obus et les torpilles accumulés dans leur flancs.

And it was to be used, remember--used a week or two later, with great guns and swift torpedoes, suddenly in the darkness of a summer night.
Or celui-ci devait, qu'on ne l'oublie pas, se transformer à l'improviste, huit ou quinze jours plus tard, dans les ténèbres d'une nuit d'été, en coups de canons et en torpilles véloces.

From Panderma I started to cross to Thrace in a coasting steamer. And there an uncommon funny thing happened - I got torpedoed.
De Panderma, je voulus gagner la Thrace par un caboteur, et c’est alors qu’il m’arriva une bizarre aventure: je fus torpillé.

Torpedoes go straight up, or very nearly so, like larks, fluttering and rustling; then they stop, hesitate, and come straight down again, heralding their fall in its last seconds by a "baby-cry" that we know well.
Les torpilles montent tout droit, ou presque, comme des alouettes, en se trémoussant et froufroutant, puis s’arrêtent, hésitent et retombent droit en annonçant aux dernières secondes leur chute par un « cri d’enfant » qu’on reconnaît bien.
