I did that too, I also launched one set to passive search, and one active. I set the speed on the passive fish to lower to increase the seekers ability to hear, and sent it off first, and then followed about 15 seconds later with the active fish. The active torpedo spooked up the walrus with it's pings and it ran at flank speed after dropping an active countermeasure, making it a perfect target for my passive fish listening to all the noise.

It was just too bad there was a 688 class ssn lurking below the layer not to far away, otherwise I would have gotten away with it....
