The Russians reportedly have a supercavitating torpedo, named the Shkval. It apparently uses the combination of a specially shaped nose section, and a rocket engine, to achieve speeds of 200+ knots underwater. The nose section supports a bubble that envelopes the entire torpedo, which significantly reduces drag.
