this radio Controlled  bomb did sink the battleship Roma and it also badly damaged the British warship Warspite in 1943.
It could be a useful addtion or not.

here is a picture of the bomb in action

(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/187_1083367622_fritz.jpg)

This dramatic photograph captures the moment on September 11th, 1943, as USS Savannah (CL-42) is hit by a German radio-controlled Fritz X bomb off Salerno. The bomb hit the top of the ship's number three 6"/47 gun turret and penetrated deep into her hull before exploding. The photograph shows the explosion venting through the top of the turret and also through Savannah's hull below the waterline. A motor torpedo boat (PT) is passing by in the foreground.
