60's sub tactics

I am fairly familiar with the tactics used by submarines from the 1980's till now but I will admit I am pretty much in the dark in regards to tactics in the 1960's.

With CW now having a 60's scenarios what exactly would a Skipjack skipper have weapon wise? Would they launch on sonar bearings with homing torpedoes or was it more of a WW2 affair needing use of the periscope to feed the TDC and using a spread?

I'm very excited to see CW letting us have a look at a mostly overlooked time period in sub games.
