That's fine, but keep in mind that there are more torpedo threats to our carriers than from noisy enemy subs.
For instance, Iran is known to field light torpedo boats that are capable of swarming in large numbers (say, 75 at once) from the marshes and islands in the narrow straights of the Persian Gulf.
Sure, we'll kill most of those boats before they get off a shot, and we'll kill *all* of them before the day ends, but *why* let our carrier get ambushed by such outdated technology?! One of those torpedoes could easily score a hit in those sorts of shallow, narrow waters.
Yet if we automate grenade launchers for close-in, depth-charge catapults for medium range, and sea-penetrating mortars for "long" range into our Sonar detection systems, we could stop *all* torpedoes. Such devices simply don't fare very well next to an exploding grenade, mortar, or depth charge.
