Everyone else seems to have IRL covered, so I'll respond about the game.
If you dive below a certain depth, your tubes will close automatically.
Let's say you open your tubes at the beginning of a patrol. You run around for a while, and end up having to dive to get away from one of those pesky Japanese patrols. You go deep, and your tubes close. Later on, you're cruising around again and find a nice fat maru. You line up a perfect shot, fire off your torpedoes, and watch as they miss astern because the doors were closed.
If you get into the habit of not opening the tubes until you are almost ready to shoot, you don't have to worry about whether or not you remembered to reopen them.
