I forgot all about the "Fido". I guess I don't think of it as a torpedo.

I read somewhere recently, that the crews that used them (fidos), were not told how they work, or that they were homing torps, only that they were some kind of top secret, fast sinking, depth charge. Seems like they would've had to know how they worked, in order to use them to best advantage.

ok, I remember this being discussed a while back and remembered it wrong

Don't worry about it. My memory isn't always up to snuff, either.
