Wouldn't it be better to suggest it for SHV, as SHIV is the pacific. To the best of my knowledge japan didn't use foxers. America may have used homing torps, I think is was called nixie, it was half the size of a regular torp, slower (around 24 knts) as was ment to be used on attacking escorts.

I think there were some fired but I don't know what the success rate was. The was an air droped version that was used. It was refered to as a Mark 24 air drop mine for security reasons.
