I've been looking over those skills again, and some of them do seem odd:

ReduceTorpedoLoading: They load them faster. That's good.

ReduceTorpedoMalfunctions: Also a good thing.

IncreaseTorpedoSpeed: It does look like he can make it go faster, as loading times are already covered above. That doesn't make sense.

IncreaseTorpedoDamage: Maybe, but how? He packs in more torpex?

IncreaseSurfaceSpeed: This guy makes the engines function better than best? Not that I've ever heard of.

IncreaseSubmergedSpeed: Same thing, but with the motors.

IncreaseOverallSpeed: Same thing again, but he's so good he makes them both work better than they can.



It looks like they wanted to give unrealistic skills that would look cool; something like the 20-knot "superchargers" in SH3.
