If a DD or even a Light CA is coming at you and turns to 30-40 degrees to either side you can count on them launching fish at you. When in close quarters with escorts nearby, I will immediately dive to 90 feet or so after firing mine at a target. Their torpedos seem to be using proximity fuses, because I have had them pass alongside and explode, causing great damage. One can sink you, but two for sure will do it.
