This wouldn't be possible if it is already in the tube and flooded.
I see, so the torpedo speed setting knob in the TDC was just to input a valour for calculation and didn't had any rod or connection to the torpedo.
Reading from the site I posted I got the idea of when selecting the speed of a torpedo, it was connected and so it would change directly.
