Now for the bad news, it doesn't work.

For some reason on the initial testing I had a line of stationary ship in a north/south line. There were also two carriers steaming at 20 knot east to west.
The planes in the mission toward the North/south line of ships and dropped the torpedoes and the torpedoes hit the Carriers traveling east west about 1500 yards north of where the torps were dropped. This happened twice in two different test.
But apparently it was a fluck, I do not know why the torps turned and headed for the carriers but I have been unable to reproduce the event. In fact I can not even get a 'homing torpedo' on a plane.

What happened in the test is still a mystery.
