In a general aspect, torpedo anchors are described for securing structures to an underwater floor. The torpedo anchors include a cylindrical body and a plurality of fins. The cylindrical body has first and second ends and an exterior cylindrical surface. The plurality of fins are disposed proximate the second end and extend outward from the exterior cylindrical surface. The cylindrical body is formed of cementitious material, and each of the plurality of fins is formed at least in part of cementitious material. In some variations, the first and second ends of the cylindrical body are, respectively, nose and tail ends of the cylindrical body. Moreover, the exterior cylindrical surface tapers into a tip at the nose end, and the tip is configured to penetrate an underwater floor.
