Again, thanks for your hard work in this great Mod.!!

Thanks for that, but that is to be expected. We do not have any coastal boats the IJN used, so anything larger than a Kaidai would have sonar. We add that a bit early in the mod, which is to instill the fear of the Type 95 torpedo...

the one that is in my installation of V1.8 was created on 8/9/2020 0421 am, is part of V1.8 and is not modified by any other mod in the modset.

Therein lies the rub... the submarine folder Ko Hyoteki in the game is only parked in harbors. The Sea folder NSS_Ko is the one that drives around barely on the surface, and is the one encountered by J0313. That's the one with the doubled entry.

That can happen. There is more than one "critical hit" location on most ships, including carriers, though they can be difficult to hit well enough to do severe damage to a ship - except the cruisers
. Plus, there is always the chance of a torpedo not imparting the full force of its detonation, which would be like a low-level detonation. It's like the Yamato class, which can easily absorb 10-12 torpedo hits before succumbing, if you don't have at least one that hits a "critical" location. Did the CV at least slow down for you after you hit it? Maybe after the DD lose interest in you, you can give chase... ??
