Fastest torpedo

According to Official Guinness Records,

The fastest torpedo is Russia's Shkval (or Squall), initially revealed in 1995 and developed by the Moscow Sergo Ordzhonikidze Aviation Institute, Russia. This rocket-propelled reaches a top-speed of approximately 230 mph (100 m/sec) with an estimated range of 6.8 km (4.2 miles).This makes it three to four times faster than regular torpedos.Other conversions of speed: 360 kph, 200-knots. It measures 533 mm (2 in) diameter and 8.23 m (27 ft) long.
This missile is pilot-guided rather than having a homing device. It is able to reach such speeds due to the release of high-pressure bubbles which coats the torpedo in an envelope of water vapour and ultimately reduces the friction on the missile.
