Hi davey,

I think you are spot on about the boats. However, based on the reports requesting external torpedoes and the logs luke posted show the torpedoes were loaded externaly plus the fact the torpedoes were so darned big and heavy and the fact the torpedo loading gear was used to pull the boats out in the first place I am thinking they pulled the boats and put the torpedoes right there where the boats would have gone in the first place. Also the 3 inch gun in that picture was an add on in that overhaul. The original placement was aft of the conning tower.
