Although the term human torpedo is usually associated with Japan during the WW II, it was actually developed much earlier. On 1 November 1918, an Italian manned torpedo nicknamed Mignatta sank the Austrian battleship Viribus Unitis and the freighter Wien using limpet mines. It was the first successful attack of its kind.
