C'mon, how in hell are you going to torpedo a speed boat;
1- that's less than 20 ft long,
2- draws less than a foot of water,
3- is staying out of the troughs so they can see,
4- is jumping over waves & wakes,
5- is buzzing around a bigass ship that you don't want to sink?

Of course it's a moot point if you can't even find them.
