im reading a book about sub war in pacific. They realy were in big trouble with mark 14 even more then the germans with their torpedos. During the beginning of the conflict some captains have shot all their torpedos and none has hit. Either they blown up to early, to late or didnt at all.

The Navy wanted an evidence for the failure with mark 14 beofore they started fixing the problems. This evidence was adduced by USS Seawolf (Warder). He has been shooting at an anchored ship and made photos of how the torpedo has ran under the ship even though the depth was set to zero.
