You don't have to fire aft for a parting shots.  Most of my designs
have the SM's configure to fire AP-FP-F, not that it matters for
chases.  The last time I used it this way I dropped it directly on
my CA, that annoying destroyer trying to keep in my blind spot landed
right on it and went boom. :)  They don't follow that close any more.
