I always launch on minimum gyro to minimise a dud torp risk. I fired one from the bow tube, saw it circle round (took me a while to twig what it was doing mind) and dived, course due to the delay it only just missed the conning tower.

Never was I so glad to have the torp on impact only, an influence setting would have been the end of a sub and career.
