Convergent evolution is just the same biological trait in lineages that are not related.

So, all fish, and many aquatic mammals, converge on the same torpedo body shape used for swimming.

I am sure you can think of more traits converged on by fishes that are not closely related, such as all fish having gills to strain oxygen from the water.
