'@Draxynnic'' @CorruptUser' but officers on the sub got an order (or, well, instruction) to use nuclear torpedo only if boat took actual damage, which wouldn't happen with signal depth charges. On top of that, nuclear-tipped torpedo is a tactical anti-ship/sub weapon, and it wouldn't be treated the same as full-fledged ballistic missile attack. Foxtrot-class B-59 had no capability to launch even a cruise missile, and SLBMs are out of it's league completely.
