I don't know abou the destroyers, but you should add to the depth problem in the torpedoes, tht if they are shalow and hit a wave they might deviate from course, and also that you are in a shaky tin can, with the correspoding effects to the aiming, speed calculations and to the crew, slow recharging, bad hydrohone detection, etc, that aren't well modelled either.
