Fundamentals of Carrier Tactics (Part 1)
If you like The Tactical Notebook, you will love the blog at the website of the Warfare Mastery Institute. In particular, I suspect that you will enjoy the series on the fundamentals of carrier tactics during the middle years of the last century. This series begins with a nicely-illustrated piece on the techniques employed by torpedo bombers.
Readers interested in exploring many e-books, videos, and courses offered by the Warfare Mastery Institute will be pleased to know that paid subscribers to The Tactical Notebook enjoy full access to that treasure trove of high-quality material.
Interesting! If I recall correctly, one of the first successful torpedo bombing runs against surface ships at anchor was at Taranto in 1940. Before that it was believed that torpedoes couldn't operate at such shallow depths, but the Swordfish pilots proved that wrong. It likely provided some operational proof to the Japanese for Pearl Harbor.
