Even the whole object has a frequency, even an entire planet has a frequency.
All I'm saying is having a frequency says nothing towards the existence of shields.
However, being able to go through shields (by modifying some frequency, not likely to be the natural frquency of the object) and the different glows (which could quite possibly be caused by the torpedo exhaust (or whatever allows it to manourve and accelerate, as little as it does) reacting with shields) lead to a theory of shielded torps.
