The swordfish apparently is either defaulted to a "dummy bomb" load-out, or perhaps purposefully set, but it appears to be the former, since the CV was most likely the spawn source of the planes. Also, the swordfish of course, is generally considered a torpedo bomber plane, and maybe the circumstances of the plane's approach did not allow for a launch, or perhaps they launched and you did not see the torpedo. btw, Your crew will NOT report incoming torpedoes. I suppose that never happened in real life - probably an oversight on the devs part.
Ah, okay, didn't realize that about the Rescue Function. Thanks.

Yes, I would also assume that the Swordfish trook off from the carrier. Naturally, Uboats were historically also attacked by Swordfish carrying DCs. In any case, if that's how the game was developed, than that's the way it is.
