If you want maximum tonnage from every torpedo you carry, then using them on
low tonnage DDs is not the answer. If you remember the quote from the
Chief of the Boat to Burt Lancaster in "Run Silent, Run Deep", he said:
"I don't know of any time a shot like that was used except in desperation"
He was talking about the down the throat shot against the DD....
