On one run, the attacking destroyer USS Sarsfield (DD-837) dashed into the search area and almost immediately made a contact, classified it as a submarine, and fired a MK-35 in less that 15 minutes.
The torpedo then quickly closed on the target and made a solid hit, which was heard on the sonars of both the Sarsfield and Manta.
That was a difficult aspect for attack, further complicated by the uncertainty of aircraft attackers being able to accurately launch the weapon within the small area from which a successful attack was possible in a real situation.
