I would guess all of naval warfare. Although with modern torpedoes the sinking of other submerged submarines is an easier task, I don't think it has actually been put to the test in real combat. If I'm not mistaken, the only time a nuclear submarine has fired it's torpedoes in anger was during the Falklands war back in 1982 when a British sub sunk the Belgrano. I'm sure others will correct me if I'm mistaken.
