1970's submarine game

Hi all, I am trying to find the name and details of a toy I had in the mid-70's.

It was a submarine game where you looked through a periscope to sink ships that were passing by.

The physical form of the toy, was that of a table top box approx 600mm x 400mm with the periscope at one end, some blue translucent plastic to represent the ocean, and then small ships at the other end which circulated left to right across the periscope's line of sight. (think of a small pinball table without the legs).

Torpedoes were then fired at the ships to score hits. It was battery powered and essentially operated with rubber belts below the blue plastic to move the ships and move (fire) the torpedoes.

I can see it in my mind but can not for the life of me remember the name of it.

Any ideas?
