The cuties are electric, and wakeless, and they usually don't get detected. The other thing about them, is they have a very short run of about 5,000 yards, and only have a 95 pound warhead. So even though they can cause damage to DDs which have little armour compared to the sluggers of the fleet, I have yet to consistantly sink a DD or smaller DE with them.
I usually keep a few in the loadout as just in case deterents, but I don't depend on them to have the same effect as a bigger fish would have.
