Unfortunately no; it's one of those anecdotal things you read and then remember years later. I can't even check my references - they're all in storage.
The closest I can come right now is the problem of having to shoot them from torpedo tubes, which means that corvettes won't have them.

Wiki quotes Campbell's
Naval Weapons of World War Two as saying that they were "seldom used", but since my Campbell is one of those books "in storage" right now I can't even verify that.
