She made a torpedo attack on a sub contact as well with a Mk37.

The Santa Fe also acted as a deterrent to our fleet until she was crippled by a DC attack and forced to surrender, and she was an old Balao class.

The Brits tried to send a SSN after her but Conquer failed to get the message.

INS
Kukuri was equipped with a decent sonar and was taken out by a Down the Throat shot with a homing torpedo. INS
Kirpan almost suffered the same fate put put the torpedo in to a stern chase and ran it to exhaustion.
The ROKS Cheonan didn't have a bad sonar but it wasn't good either. Its was a middle of the road type derived from the FFG-7's sonar and had a max range of 8 nmi.
