Radius of the circle would be adjusted by the gyro angle set in the TDC. Just be sure to go deep after launching a few of them  |
Actually according to O'Kane's book that is the reason for the circling fish. The Mk 14 was equipped to run in a circle while the sub was dived to attack a chasing destroyer. It was never used but the torpedoes were still designed to accept the modification and occasionaly the rudder would jam because of it.
