I'm nitpicking and might be wrong, but wouldn't a sub on war patrol have its torpedo tubes already loaded? Maybe not flooded, but I'd think loaded. Hummmmm.... Subs typically didn't load their tubes until a target was sighted. Too much chance of something going wrong with torps in the tubes for long periods. Chez
