Well, a torpedo weighs more than a ton, so any kind of rough weather operation is out of the question. I have heard, but don't remember where, that they wouldn't even attempt to reload internal torpedoes during an attack, because if they were counterattacked a steep enough diving angle could cause the torpedo to break loose from its loading rails and crush some hapless sailor.
Dead calm only for external reloads, and a dead stop to boot.
