That just happened to be one of "Mush" Morton's hobbies - once the "Wahoo" even took out a fishing boat with molotov cocktails b/c the AA guns jammed.
I have never used a torpedo on small craft. For the most part I usually leave them alone, since it doesn't seem to be worth the trouble. If I'm bored or haven't sunk anything for the duration of the patrol, then I might go after them (deck gun, AA guns, and ramming only).
