I have read that book several times, and I am always sad/pissed off, that so many skippers were relieved of command for "lack of aggressiveness" when it was truly the fault of the torpedoes.
Sure misses happen, due to miscalculations...and even near the end of the war when the torpedoes were supposedly fixed there were still misses, and even malfunctions.
What did come from that is truly a US navy that listens to it's front line officers. Now if there is a weapons or any other problem, no bureau can or should just brush it aside.
