I was on a FFG this afternoon, suddenly I got the message "Captain , TIW!"
OK, standard procedure, stream NIXIE. running away at flank speed.
Then, the lookout reported in "new surface contact!" Also there was an EW contact report.

I looked through binoculars. hmmm, weird. Is that a mermaid?

I turned the truth on, found out that's a USET-80 torpedo. It tried to jump out of water

then for the next 10 min, it stayed there at speed between 1-6 Kt, pop up and down.

Well, what's going on?
