des tubes


Explanation:
Il existe diverses méthodes de lancement des torpilles. Un sous-marin possède des
***tubes fixes*** dans sa proue et dans sa poupe, qui éjectent les torpilles en utilisant de l'air comprimé et plus récemment une sorte de piston qui est plus silencieux. Les bâtiments de surface possèdent
*** des tubes***
identiques à ceux des sous-marins, qui peuvent être pointés indépendamment de l'orientation du bateau. Un explosif permet d'éjecter la torpille. Les avions larguent leurs torpilles, rangées dans des compartiments spéciaux, en volant à faible altitude.

tube d'armes


Explanation:
What about the "sous-marins d'attaque" which are fitted with nuclear warheads ?
I guess you won't call them "torpilles".
