Why arent we given specs for the torps or subs in the manual? I dont think US Skippers had to figure system specs in the field, why do we?

I'd like to know the range and speed of the Mk10s

ok, i found this finally:

"the Mk10 torpedo which could travel 5,000 yards at 30 knots (later 3,600 yards at 36 knots) with a 500-lb warhead"

found here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ss-78.htm

and this:

"Range / Speed: 3200m / 3500yds at 36 knots"

found here: http://www.microworks.net/pacific/armament/mk10_submarine.htm

I assume its the later, faster version in game...I assume, I'd like confirmation.
