Type 39 Star Lance Torpedo

The Type 39 Star Lance Torpedo, also known as the Type 39 Star Lance large anti-ship missile, is a large torpedo developed by the United Earth Federation Navy for its Yugumo-class destroyers and its subsequent subclasses. Designed as a anti-capital ship weapon that the destroyers could utilise when combatting larger foes, it is equipped with an extremely powerful warhead capable of threatening the most powerful of shields and toughest of armor plating on most capital ships such as battleships or dreadnoughts. When used against smaller opponents like a frigate or destroyer, a single salvo of two of these torpedoes are usually enough to destroy or cripple them should both hit.
