Some candidates

Dambusters
Tirpitz
Norwegian heavy water
Midway
Doolittle raid

You would surely have to include the 11th September attacks on New York and
Washington. For an outlay of well under $1M, and some volunteers suicide
attackers with box cutters, whoever executed it massively damaged the US
economy, and so spooked the US that they started not one but two unwinnable
wars (in Afghanistan and Iraq) in response. Surely that has to place it up
there with Hiroshima?
