Today’s Submarine Changes: Tambor class (328, 1343, 1344). Torpedoes reworked: Forward: 4 x 4, ammo 3 plus 2 x 2, ammo 2 = 16 torpedoes Aft: 4 x 4, ammo 2 = 8 torpedoes (unchanged) Gato Class (329, 1345, 1346). Torpedoes reworked: Forward: 4 x 4, ammo 3 plus 2 x 2, ammo 2 = 16 torpedoes Aft: 4 x 4, ammo 2 = 8 torpedoes (unchanged) Tench Class (new: 1552 and 1553). Torpedoes reworked: Forward: 6 x 6, ammo 3 = 18 torpedoes After 2 x 2, ammo 3 + 2 x 2, ammo 2 = 10 torpedoes Salmon: No changes. I have no data to show removal dates of the 4 external reloads so I will ignore both the removal and the external tubes added to a few of these. Remains 24 torpedoes with original disposition. Perch Class (326, 1338, 1339, 1340). Reduced aft torpedo ammo to 2 which adjusts total torpedo load to 16 except for class 1340 which has two external tubes, 18. Dutch K-XI Class (333). Reduce speed to 15. Dutch O-21 Class (337). Reduce endurance to 7100. British “T” Class (338, 1451). Increase Endurance to 11,000 for both. Set Class 338 to represent 1st Group, with torpedoes: Forward: 6 x 6, Ammo 2 + 2 x 2, Ammo 1 (externals) = 14 torpedos Aft: 2 x 2, Ammo 1 (externals) = 2 torpedoes Set Class 1451 to represent 2nd/3rd Groups, with torpedoes: Forward: 6 x 6, Ammo 2 + 2 x 2, Ammo 1 (externals) = 14 torpedos Aft: 3 x 1, Ammo 1 (externals) = 3 torpedoes British “S” Class (339, 1452). Set endurance to 6000. British Porpoise and River Classes: The endurance values in Lenton are somewhat greater than those given by Herrbear and I’ve decided to keep them: Porpoise: 11,500@8 kts, 156 tons fuel Thames: 16,100@10 kts, 224 tons fuel All other values agree.
