How? Don't they use the air to push out the torpedo?

Whatever system design is , im 100% shure they dont have to shnorkel afther 5 launches...
SO if Sonalysts already made this mistake ( it is from S.C. if i remember right) then it will be nice to either>
a) start with 100%
b) reduce loss to 1% with each launch
c) do something with "chargers" i.e. they might enable full recharge without ventilating but for a price of increased nosie

I was wondering about "fixing " snorkel system so it will be able to resist to waves.This is why i pointed to LWAMI (sorry Dave,it wasnt my intention to brag,i was hoping u guys can fix this somehow, u know setting snorkel depth to 100ft...)

Becose this way ..im feeling like im in TYPE IX instead of 688,if u understand me!

AH,yes..i almoust forgot: Vertical tubes also uses huuge amount of HP air...I tought ( actualy i found that info in "old" Janes 688(i) HK manual) that vertical system has its own gas generators...
