Psssssst! Listen carefully. You didn't hear this and you didn't hear it from me. Your Mark 14 torpedoes are calibrated in feet. However they run approximately 10 feet deeper than they are set. The magnetic exploder is fubar. You should find a way for them to have an unfortunate accident rendering them inoperative. Torpedoes hitting targets at a torpedo track angle of 90º will mostly be duds.

The unofficial scuttlebutt is to set the suckers on the surface, magnetic exploders somehow inoperative and plan for duds.

You didn't hear it from me. But I'm bustin' rocks for sinking the USS Essex. What can they do to me? Put me in jail? You still didn't hear it from me...
