Others more familiar with SHIV may already know about this trick, if so, apologies for repeating.

When in port, you have a certain amount of renown which, among other things, can be spent on torpedoes. I like the Mk 23s, but sometimes I can't afford to fill my boat with them. Here's what I do:

Load the reserve tubes with Mk 23, but leave the (free!) Mk 14s in the tubes themselves. As soon as the mission begins, open the doors and launch every torpedo out toward the open ocean. Head immediately for port and refit. Your reserves get filled up with Mk 23s, which you load via the standard drag and drop. Refit again to top off the reserves.

Ta da. Assuming 10 torpedo tubes (Balao), you just saved 1,000 renown, and for the rest of your patrol you'll always get nice shiny Mk 23s whenever you refit.
