I did that on my first patrol, too!
Ever run at flank speed and attract your own homing torpedo? I did. Sped right along thinking everything was honkey-dorey and all of a sudden *KA-BLAMMO*! Lost the engine compartment and had no way to RTB.
OTOH, if you play it just right you can use your own engine noise to guide those homing eels back toward their intended target. Nailed a pesky destroyer that way once.
