Found an alternative - Torpedo Bombers. In real life it was a minor military miracle when an American torpedo bomber made it all the way to the drop point, a major military miracle if the cantankerous contraption actually worked, hit the target and exploded. Think the sub fleet had troubles, US aerial torpedoes had to be dropped lower than 100 feet at about 90 knots and even then they would often break into pieces when they hit the water.

But the US TBs in game can be equipped with a fish and sometimes you can see them hit the target and do some damage. Looking over the PT boats and cans the "Loadout" option is grayed out, so no can add fish to anything without wings.
