Mines! Torpedoes! Improvised Explosive Devices at sea! When the War of 1812 broke out there was no way that the United States could sustainably go toe-to-toe with the far larger royal Navy, and so Congress authorized “An Act to encourage the destruction of the armed vessels of war of the enemy.” The Torpedo Act promised one-half the value of any sh…
