Yes true..but that is from the surface water being physically moved and disturbed by a 1000+ ton ship and prop...a steam torpedo is nothing more than bubbles coming to the surface and not physically disturbing the water as a ship does.Its not the torpedoes props that are causing the wake,simply the bubbles from the steam engine.The electric torpedoes dont leave a wake because there are no bubbles coming to the surface from its engine.So the oceans surface waters simply moving would break up the bubble wake from the steam engine quite quickly.There would be a wake that is obvious from the steam bubble, simply not as long or last as long IMHO.
