I like to load one in the aft room just for a DD who is charging at me. They seem to be very effective in that situation.;)

I carry a few when I can.

One or two fore and a couple aft and use them for their intended use. Defensive posture.

You asked about speed, I think the Mk 27's only have one speed.. slow.

It was the worst mission I ever had.

They only have the one speed and its slow as shyite. I did manage to take out a large passenger liner with one, and crippled a DD with another.

Either way, never thought of using them as a defense in the stern, but that one trip pretty much put them on the "never use again" list for me. I don't care how much they cost.

When a DD is weaving back and forth towards you, a homing torpedo is what you want.

Yes, it has only one setting: Slow. Or to be exact: 12 kts.:doh:
