They did most of their testing on the Mk 14 at Newport Torpedo Station. The depth issues had a little to do with the location (not as much as the mag exploder though) The biggest issue for the depth was with the placement of the depth sensor and the weight of the warhead they tested with was different then the actual warhead used in combat.
