This reminded me. I've seen a few documentaries that include period footage showing torpedoes being fired by pulling down on a lever, not pressing a button.

Does anyone know for sure whether buttons were pressed or levers were pulled to fire torpedoes (and pls, no "SH3/Das Boot uses buttons so it must be right" responses)?
