Can you explain what caused this? Do the torpedoes arm immediately? What is the torpedo speed? I Never used a MK37. Is this the 1968 campaign?:doh:

Pretty simple but since it seems you haven't gotten to the 68 campaign yet (you really should it's fun) I can break it down.
The MK 37 is a 19in outside dia torpedo, the torpedo tubes are 21in inside dia. This enables the MK 37 to "swimout", that is instead of causing a loud launch transient it exits the torpedo tube under its own power. Before activating it runs at 17kts, after it speeds up to 26kts. There is however an undocumented arming range it seems for the warhead. If you're going too fast when you launch, and after launch, you will travel with the torpedo beside you. If you travel for too long and it reaches the fuzing distance it will detonate right beside you.
