In WWII, aircraft used torpedoes to attack ships. Since the 1980s, various
anti-ship missiles are in use. However, unless I'm seriously mistaken,
torpedoes went out of fashion soon after WWI. What did aircraft use to
attack enemy ships in the meantime? Bombs, rockets and guns? Or was the
torpedo still in use?

I'm not a attack puke by training but torpedoes are still in the
inventory to kill boats and subs, along with rockets, missiles, guns,
smart and dumb bombs. WWII saw a lot of ships sunk by bombs, not torpedoes.
