The Germans build carriers, instead of battleships, prior to WW2

@Bismarck Sea the Beaus attacked at low level with bombs and 20mm cannon / 303 Machine gun fire

Apparently the Japanese ships believing them to be torpedo bombers turned into them allowing the Beaus and A20s / B25s to strafe and 'skip bomb' down their length

Photo of the IJN Destroyer Shirayuki Admiral Kimura's flagship - under attack from a low level aircraft at Bismarck Sea - a skip bomb exploded her aft magazine sinking her.

A good example of a German torpedo attack is the 63 HE 111 Torpedo bombers that attacked PQ18 on the 13th Sept 1942 - each armed with 2 torpedoes - so potentially 126 Torpedoes

They sunk 8 ships losing 5-8 aircraft shot down and apparently every other aircraft received damage such was the AAA effectiveness with several crash landing and several written off.

And that was the more successful attack during that convoy battle!
