there were still a lot of old design diesel subs in the water back then in the 70's so the weapon was still theoreticaly effective.

Well I don't know if the USN had Squids but I do know that US destroyers armed with Hedgehogs kept Soviet type XXI (Foxtrot class I think) at bay during the whole Cuban Missle Crisis in the 60s. I guess one of the subs batteries wouldnt hold a charge and the captain was forced to run home on the surface with his tail tucked between his legs.
