Hi all; I'm curious after messing around in SHV for a bit, about how torpedos were loaded in a uboat.

I'm sure many history buffs will know, so thought i'd ask.

In particular, i was wondering which particular part of it was so time consuming (approx 25 minutes to load a tube, yes??)

And also I've noticed in SHV anyway, the crewmen spend a great deal of time "polishing' the sides of the torpedo before it goes in the hatch... any insights to this?

Thanks!
