Now on to the rest of it.
Surface attack? In a heavily patroled area like The Irish Sea, with Heavy Fog?!
Wow! You realy have to be tonnage hungry to go that route.

For those "I just have to do this" occassions that arise, I'd either risk a hydrophone attack (risks are stated above) or, preferably an angled shot at a 90 degree angle, IF the target shows itself.

Although I usualy pass on Heavy Fog attacks, I too have been guilty of partaking.
As I'm usualy very generiouse with torpedoes anyway, these kinds of attacks are not a good idé for me. They can realy eat up a torpedo loadout, fast.

I agree.
I also use only impact torpedoes and TI only since I like to have a stand-off attack option.
Of course , I will use a magnetic pistol with the TV homing torpedo.

I also try to go by the "one torpedo one ship" by Silent Otto
