"As Theodore Roscoe, author of the official naval history of submarine operations, put it, 'The only reliable feature of the torpedo was its unreliability.'"

Quoting Nelson Muntz, "ha-ha!".

Hey Ravelli, see how lucky you are for having 6 tubes. All 4-tube ships had 2/3 less chance of hitting something. Now try to think about the german type II, where the sub alltogether only carried 5 torps and had 3 tubes. Imagine running an entire patrol, and having all your torpedoes failing in just one attack.
