Random Torpedo Appearannce

I am still getting familiar with this game. In "The Duel" single mission, I have been struck numerous times by a torpedo that randomly appears out of nowhere. The most recent time this happened was today.

I had a torpedo on the wire nearing its target. I was nearing 550-feet when the "Torpedo in the water" alert was given. I was able to release a noisemaker, adjust dive planes, and before I could increase speed...BOOM! What am I not understanding about this "random" torpedo appearance? I do not hear aircraft. I see no signs of sonobuoys in the area. "The Duel" only has one enemy submarine, and it is thousands of yards away when the random torpedo appears.

In addition, the target seems to disappear as the torpedo closes in. I have seen the torpedo "strike" nothing in the water with incredible explosions, as the "Lost contact..." alert is spoken.

I have one instance, (and a photo or two), where a surface ship disappears from the screen, but is destroyed and engulfed in flames.

I love playing this game and have around 30 hours into it already. I even chased a Blue Whale while flooding. I have photos of that, too. The whale made an "angry" sound as I neared its location.

"Cold Waters" kicks my butt on a regular basis, so this game is not an easy game to learn, even though I am currently playing on "Easy" difficulty.
