There are issues with one of the Zero fighters also..... thanks for the info though!

Definitely heard (only) two at one time, high pitched propeller noise all over the hydrophone dial for approx. 20 minutes, which moved around every so often. I only saw one cylinder, that looked like a torpedo to me, thrown off to one side of the Betty. What does Betty's torpedo look like when it is dropped? A cylinder?
I ran at max speed because I wanted to get hit by the torpedo to test my hypothesis. I would have gone to silent running and 1 knot in a real battle.
I'll also watch out for the Zero. Let us know what you find. Thanks for looking.
