English: A torpedo bomber is a bomber aircraft designed primarily to attack ships with torpedoes, but they could also carry out conventional bombings. Carrying torpedoes requires a long bomb-bay (or in any case a longer fuselage), which is why a special type of plane is needed for this role.
Português: Um torpedeiro é um bombardeiro desenhado com o objectivo de atacar navios com torpedos, mas também podem carregar bombas convencionais.
