US torpedoes were notoriously terrible early in the war after all.
Tang went out in late 1944, not really early war anymore. Most of the glaring defects of torpedoes had been worked out by then. More of terribly bad luck than a big flaw in the torpedo itself I'd say, though you could say the fact that it's even possible for the torpedo to do a circular run and hit what fired it is bad design.
