After the war sub skippers pretty much agreed that subs would have been just as well off with no stern tubes. So that shows that most of them weren't thinking ahead either, just taking the cream off the top with firing the forward torpedoes until all they had left was those $%#$ aft ones that were harder to shoot.
So you're doing it just like I do. I'm always looking for an excuse to use the aft torpedo tubes. It makes you a hero in the after torpedo room because every torp fired means another bunk or two. And it's just plain fun to do. If you're going to run out of one torpedo room first, make it the after torpedo room and then you'll look forward to the shots at the end of the cruise instead of dreading them.
