You see, same boat, different book (published in 1996)

Odd.:hmm: Now the big question, who is right? (I only have one number about reload times from a type VII. But it is from a novel and therfore I guess it doesn't count but there they reloaded the four tubes manually within 12 minutes (a record time they said). So I find it odd that an automatic is supposed to take 15 min. for 6 tubes....Maybe someone has more reliable data about that...)
BTW.
How long did it take the fleet boats to reload?
@Tater
I don't think the fleet boats would have done good in the ATO, but I wrote the reasons for that already and I don't want to repeat myself. Mybe we should just leave it at that since I don't think this thread will go anywhere.
