Perhaps a loitering torpedo would be more accurate.

I’m inclined to agree, otherwise it would be like calling a FPV kamakazi drone a missile.

Naming aside, kinda terrifying that these could theoretically be travelling autonomously far deeper than any sub thanks to the lack of a pressure vessel.

There’d be almost no countermeasures right now. Just waiting for a carrier to float above and then accelerate upwards.
