Oscillators... I believe.  99 shots each one, replenishes when back at
base - this could be done by milking off Zrbite, but I've never thought
about it before now.

Not a problem if you're packing sonics - you just make a hole for it to fit
through.

I go for the opposite side to where my sub is - that way, no stray LOS MC
attacks from afar.  Do the walls, instead of the roof, starting from the
opposite side, maybe?

Aw, you wuss!  Why not abort the mission?  I remember one game where I threw
everything I had at a lobster, and I mean everything.  But since it was like
you, and I may as well been hitting it with a fluffy toy, it was pretty
minimal in effect.  Mind you, it did go down eventually.  Only trouble was,
when the next one popped up, I had no ammo of any kind left.  (Run away! Run
away!)

Taps?  As in the military salute type thingie?

It's true!  TFTD made me do it!
