Technical question: How do you fire a salvo of four, reload, and fire a second salvo before the first even hits?

Tactical question: Eight torpedoes for two ships? That seems excessive. You don't need the targets to blow up on the spot... you just want to cull them from the convoy. If you slow Rodney to 4 knots with one torpedo, they will leave her.
