That's why my deal is that waiting an hour is better than schlepping two weeks back to port for more torpedoes. Yes, you can do spreads and hit them but the cost just doesn't make sense.

and 30 minutes is at least as long as it takes me to evade the escorts, sneak back out to you-can't-see-me-but-I-can-see-you range and race ahead to set up again. Although, you'd think by the third time i've done this to the same convoy they'd learn...
