Our torpedoes in the early part of the war were an abomination on our fighting man. Failure to detonate was a chronic complaint. Someone should have went to jail for that cluster*&^% they foisted upon our sailors.

Problem was the Top Secret Mk 6 Magnetic Exploder on both the Mk14 in subs and the MK15 on destroyers.

So secret that they were worried about espionage and didn't test it sufficiently.
