I wonder if the aiming was any better than the Barbs Jerry rigging which was pretty much point the "bow at the target" and they had yest fired them at one point to have a rough idea where they'd land.Some late war boats had the 2 5/25s and some sort of fire control computer for them but not the rockets.

I guess as the war was coming to an end and enemy shipping becoming a bit more rare and allied aircraft being able to destroy more ships they where trying to come up with other things to do with the subs like attacking shore targets.
