Good advice
. I'd add that 70 degrees is probably as high as you'd want to go. Any higher than that and the risk is high the torp will not detonate if its pistol is set on impact. On the other hand, this kind of angle is better when using magnetics, since the torpedo will travel a slightly longer distance under the target's keel.
I would usually favour option 1.
