I've never used a torpedo set to magnetic yet, but should learn.

Long story shortened a bit - had two aux. cruisers 'escorted' by a DD, sunk one aux., almost had the other one - fired a stern torp at the destroy er, was then going to get the second aux., the stern torp went UNDER the destroyer !!! Had to crash dive, but then he got a lucky depth charge attack on me as I wasn't submerged enough. Yup, that really hacked me off.
Most definitely...provided it's not a dud
