As a general rule, subs weren't sent after subs anyways. To make a submerged kill would require the best sonar of the day coupled with a spot-on targeting solution, the torpedo being set to the exact right depth within a half-dozen feet in either direction. That's a narrow, highly precise shot, fired blind on instrumentation alone.

Could be done...but a sub duel under those conditions would be a lot like watching a pair of blindfolded Old West gunfighters.
