This was indeed a hush hush top priority project during the WWII, my former father in law worked on it and the proximity anti aircraft shell,and also developed some of the first effect sound speed theory for sonar. I dont know details about use in the pacific but i do believe they did use it there....that will be another question i wll ask that retired USN officer here who is the guy who i mentioed to you was ComSubPac...see if he knows.
