I am trying to figure out if the Axion torpedo is affected by the opponent's cloak as it uses gravimetric targeting and not active or any type of fire control. a sub while cloaked can fire the axion torp with no need of lock-on but what about. non-cloak(frax) axion vs cloaked Romulan --or-- Cloaked(Frax) vs Cloaked Romulan 
  as far as I can tell they are not affected by a cloak in any way.  

 
 
(E51.33) LOCK-ON EFFECTS: The Axion Torpedo uses a special fire control system, which is not connected to the ship's Active (D6.6) or Passive (D19.0) Fire Controls and cannot use ECCM while the ship is cloaked. The range is not doubled (D6.123) for the lack of a lock-on. ECM is used by the target unit normally. If the ship armed with the Axion Torpedo is uncloaked, it may use ECCM normally if its fire control is active.
 

 
 
I read this to mean that:
 
When a Frax submarine is cloaked and the opponent is un-cloaked: the doubled-range effect of passive fire control is ignored.
 
When the Submarine is un-cloaked and the opponent is un-cloaked: Consider as a normal direct-fire weapon.
 
When a Frax submarine is cloaked and the opponent is cloaked: The doubled-range effect of passive fire control is ignored. However, add 5 to the range (G13.312) (G13.32) and use the fire adjustment chart (G13.37) due to the EW effects of the cloak.

However, you should double-check with the main BBS, as I'm not making a ruling on this.
