Why did you fire a torpedo against it and especially an acoustic one? The torpedo is more expensive than the target itself and moreover it is slower than a MTB. A MTB travelling at 30 - 40 kts is not a torpedo target. Dive and let it go. It has no sonar to pick you up submerged.
Well, errrrrrrrrr....... B trying to infiltrate NY in April 45. Only had acoustics. And in about 15m. Water. Surface is not where I wanted to be, but I didnt have a choice. Had Perfect weather too. Medium seas, overcast, decent fog. Was hoping their radar would think I was a tug or something.
