I believe you are right about that...concerning the German Torpedo.

Freddy's ship was in the ST Lawrence with a sister class ship..HMCS Magog ..which U 1223 chewed up with an acoustic.
The torpedo detonated behind the ship in the chains..and still blew the stern off.

All that damage and it wasn't even a hit on the ship!!

Imagine what they could have done with those or even a more reliable torpeado earlier in the war.
