I can second this however I think a pre-enable / automatic-control lockout when you want to manually re-target the torpedo yourself would be a great idea.

Speaking of all this, I'm not sure what variant it was introduced on (I know it was present before the ADCAP upgrade) but there was a version of the Mk 48 in the early 80s that had "TELECOM" / two-way communication so that the firing ship could get sonar data back from the torpedo. This helped alleviate trouble with the torpedo drowning out the contact it is being guided towards and gives the firing sub an even better picture at what's going on "downrange".
