The torp was missing from the tube. The video shows the door open and torp gone, thus it was shot as the tube would've been loaded. Again, just one tube being open and shot shows it was probably shooting at an escort, plus no reported attack on the merchants.
Strange, some sites say the inner hull was never breached, others say it was, certainly if it was that may have trapped it on the bottom, battery fumes, running out of air, who knows.
Another fact is a few experienced crew were replaced as often done before this patrol.
