These are similar to time's I've been seeing. Getting qualified crew is key to improving these times and having a Torp qualified officer is a must! Then fill the torp room with whatever layabout swabs are hanging about playing with them selves until you get 100% efficiency. the job will be done in no time, in any weather from what I've seen.
If you want to be historically accurate this job probably took around an hour and half and was only attempted when stopped in millpond conditions if at all because of the risk of dropping the torp or some swabbies into the drink. The risk of being surfaced and stopped for over an hour probably gave even the bravest Kaleuns the heebie jeebies.
