Thanks again for the answer.
I think the torpedo was set to active homing, as far a I know it's the default setting.
Actually when I fired the torpedoes, I wanted to set one to passive seeking but I could not figure out how to make the torpedo use passive homing. On the Akula it's fairly straight forward, but on the panel on the Seawolf it's not so clear.
So how do you set torpedoes to active or passive homing on the seawolf?
And also, how can you tell when a torpedo fired at you is using passive homing? Is it just if you cannot hear the constant pinging noise, then you can assume it's using passive seeking?
P.S As for silent running, do you just have to change speed to 3 or 4 knots or is there some special function to activate it?
