I launch a torpedo at a ship with a draft of 24.6 feet. I set the torpedo to 25ish feet for depth setting.

I make sure that contact influence is set.. and launch.

I then watch to see that it just harmlessly swims under the ship with no explosion?

Time of year is 1942.. I know they had some problems, but with all of them?
