1. Yes that was a part of my comment. And that's what was done by DDs and DEs during the war..... Atlantic theater I assume, and the Pacific theater. Reference in link below.
2.Yes, it was to protect shipping before they could be torpedoed. I'm not sure how they went about setting up smoke screens or how often they were used. PT boats used smoke screens to hide behind when fleeing the enemy, and to lay mines. If implemented in a mod for SH5, I'd say to make it a random feature.... if it's at all possible.
