Nope. Unfortunately the current crop of SH games do not show the calmer wates in protected areas. There is a reason for the phrase "safe harbor", but not in SH3.

Much as I hate to disagree with the esteemed Jimbuna, I disagree.
My experience has always been that if you enter a bay the water almost always becomes calm enough for the deck gun. Maybe I've just gotten lucky, but given the amount of horrible weather I've seen otherwise, I don't think so.
In the stock SH3 executable, you can pull in external loads in any weather, at any engine speed. It's not realistic, but you can do it. Evidently there is an executable mod that changes this so that you must have calm seas in order to pull in the external torpedoes.
Also, FYI, only steam torpedoes were stored in the external stowage. The game allows you to put electrics in there but that is not historically correct.
