That actually happened to me at one point. Fired two torpedoes at the target, checked the attack map and noticed that one of then was making a hard left turn 
I put the sub in full reverse and watched as the torpedo passed about 10m (well probably more but it looked close) in front of me.
That would have been a fitting end to my career, wasting about 15 torpedoes with misses and at the end sinking myself with one... |
German U-boats with homing torpedoes would dive after launching since the torpedoes could hear them and would sometimes turn around and go after the U-boat...
Might not be a bad idea when in deep water to follow that example, if it is a circle runner, then it would pass above you.
You lose the ability to know exactly were the ships are, but you aren't sunk either....

At first glance I was thinking "I forget the names too", then after a minute,
"wait, that sub was commanded by Dick O'Kane, and it was sunk by a circle runner...", he
must me making a joke...
Then again.....
