Explosive

An Explosive (aka a Bomb) is a chemical device that, when detonated, can cause a large amount of damage. In the espionage world, it is used for sabotage. Explosive devices can be set to go off by a timing mechanism.

Unbeknownst to Archer, Goodman (aka Melvin Blitzny) had set an explosive device on the ship in order to sink it while she was on board.

When Archer joined Armstrong on the island nation of Khios, she realized that she could use Explosives on a rock formation. This explosion would cause the large rock formation to fall on the Super Secret Submarine, destroying it in the process.
