<HTML>The Hedgehog is totally worthless against a nuke attack boat. There is absolutly no way a sub skipper is going to let a DD get in range to use Hedgehogs or DCs so long as he has power to the screw and torpedos in the tubes. A homing torpedo launched by the DD would most likely be out-run. You have to have helo dropped or missle launched homing torps.
