Kek! From what I know, "hydro" means something water-related, "sonic" means sound.
Sound in water moves at about 1500 m/s (just about below mach 5 taking speed of sound of 343 m/s in air).
For a torpedo that'd be really fast; the fastest torpedo I know is VA-111 Shkval from the russkies at about 1330 m/s (they use an effect under water called "supercavitation").
Missiles (in air) usually are considered moving "fast" starting from just above mach 5.
So we (the US) have torpedos moving faster than their sound?

Kek! Most likely many developers have.
At any rate, typically a "missile" is airborne, a "torpedo" is waterborne.
So "hydrosonic missile" may sound rather slow to me.
