Just for the heck of it, in my test install I edited the cutie in Silent 3Ditor to set the range, speed, bang, and damage radius (.sim and .zon files) to the same as the Mark 16, 46 knots and 12,500 yards. The simile "shooting fish in a barrel" comes to mind.
Have to start a new career for that to kick in, in an existing career between patrols in base the cuties become available, but have the original speed and range data.
