Lowly troll popping in to ask if anyone has tried this from the front? I.e., pass underneath from stern to bow, and then launch a torpedo at the target's bow. Generally one eel to the front seems to be enough to flood the ship and sink it.
I guess it could be done against a slow ship, but anything that does more than 7 knots and your own boat will be straining to keep up. But really there isn't a necessity to pass underneath the target... You can position yourself straight in it's path if you want to hit him from 0 AOB but then if you want to put it in his bow, you might as well aim from abeam.
