Basically, big anti-capital spacefaring torpedoes that have a fairly powerful shaped charge in the tip and a warp drive on the inside. They touch an enemy ship, the shaped charge goes off and creates a sort of impromptu tunnel into the ship, the torpedo enters the enemy vessel, and then the warp drive (with a warp field modified to be significantly larger than the torpedo itself) teleports the torpedo a few kilometres away... along with a good portion of the enemy ship. So you end up with a large spherical piece of the targeted vessel sitting beside the ship it used to be a part of, and the ship now has an equally large hole in it, is depressurizing and leaking oxygen all over the place, and probably has some critical systems and wiring missing. Not to mention that massive gaping holes weaken a ship's structural integrity quite a bit, and that additional munitions could then be fired into the hole left by the telepedo, thus completely bypassing the outer armor and hitting the ships's vital parts.

Fairly easy to shoot down and stupidly expensive? Yes. But also capable of almost completely disregarding the amount of armor a target has, since armor does nothing against having a part of your ship literally just vanish and reappear somewhere else. Basically, these would be the ultimate weapons against heavily armored targets (but again, sticking a starship-grade warp drive inside a torpedo that gets destroyed is absurdly costly).

P.S. @Khoi Tran: Yeah, you could do that. It'd have to be extremely strong to hold an island though, you'd have to customize the structure based on where you intend to warp to, and it would be susceptible to attack by underwater torpedoes unless you put a lot of armor on it. Also, since the rock structure would be under the island before it warped, you'd have to build it sort of out to the sides. Definitely not impossible though, but having the island naturally anchored to the sea floor is probably preferable.

1.) Maybe AF should come up with this :p

2.) This would absolutely wreck PCAV and even Narada
