Good point. I have also wondered what would happen if the sub had to emergency dive while removing the external torpedoes. I have had to do this and of course when I resurface the process of loading the externals just starts where it got left off. Its entirely possible that they could be lost altogether. |
What I do is to arbitrarily divide the loading time into phases and then give myself options within each phase.
Phase 1. First 10% of loading rime. Crew setting up, torpedo still in storage. Options: A) Abandon gear. Stay on surface 30 seconds before crash dive, lose ability to load any externally stored torpedos for rest of mission. B) Stow gear. Stay on surface 3 minutes before crash dive. Wait three minutes on surface before next attempting to load this torpedo. C) Stay on surface until next phase.
Phase 2. 10% to 50% of loading time. Crew removing torpedo from stowage and positioning over hatch. Options: A) Ditch torpedo and gear. Stay on surface 2 minutes before crash dive; lose ability to load any externally stored torpedos for rest of mission. B) Ditch torpedo, stow gear. Stay on surface 5 minutes before crash dive; do not attempt to load this torpedo again this mission. C) Stay on surface until next phase.
Phase 3. 50% to 100% of loading time. Crew passing torpedo through loading hatch. No options. Stay on surface until torpedo loaded.
