16 forward torpedoes
- Mk23 x2 loaded, x2 reserves
- Mk14 x2 loaded, x6 reserves
- Mk10 x1 loaded, x2 reserves
- Mk18 x1 loaded, no reserves

8 aft torpedoes
- Mk14 x4 loaded, x4 reserves

I wonder if moving unfired previous patrol torpedoes from fore to aft or vice versa, would have any impact on the magnetic detonator.. As I understand, O'kane ordered the 18s specifically aft...

The game isn't that complex. Each type torpedo has it's own values giving a precentage of failure rates. You could move and switch them all around as much as you want, the values will remain the same.
They're other values that increase hits, state of water, speed of torp, angle of torp, etc..but best used early war. After 43 the failure rate values drop greatly, but you'll still have them
