It came from the famous phrase uttered by David Farragut, an officer in the Union navy during the American Civil War, after receiving a warning of torpedoes (water mines) ahead. Now, endless numbers of forgotten, decript naval ships line the coast as far as the eye can see, forming a maze-like water raceway in and out of. Damn the Torpedoes is a phrase meaning to continue ahead with the planned course of action in spite of the known risks. With a rocket engine on the back of the boat, its no wonder that Banshee is one of the loudest boats in the first Hydro Thunder. It resembles a long boat with an extra engine. Banshee is a gradient green and blue hydroplane that has black accents. It has some specs that look kinda similar to Damn the Torpedoes. A highly-modified, Expert-level version of this boat, known as Banshee X, is featured exclusively in the Tempest DLC pack.
