Just to clarify with this technique, do you need to keep the periscope on the target until the torpedo hits it? Like with a TOW missile?

Or, is it a "fire and forget" scenario, where the torpedo will swim at the section of the target it's aiming at, after it's launched, and you can then move the periscope to another ship?

Learning something new, every day. Thanks!
