A fish most likely went hot inside a tube which caused it all to back fire, causing a fire in torpedo bay, then all torpedos clocked off and bang.
what id like to know is, at battle stations why were the hatchs open
if they were ment to be closed the submarine could have blown ballast and hit the fire surpression system it would have saved the sub and most of the crew.
why didnt the aft 23 crew try and make surface?
