While it is true that stopping off at an intermediate base means that it's possible to replenish the torpedoes, there's no option to change the type of torpedo used in the original loadout during such a refit. Thus, it is possible to end up being stuck with expensive Mk 27 torpedoes taking up tubes that could be better being filled with torpedoes that will sink ships, not just disable them, even after replenishment...which leads me to...
c) The Mk 27s will only damage/disable a ship, thus earning you no renown points, unless you can sink it with conventional torpedoes.
