One thing is that premature rates are very sensitive to the sea state. Were you shooting in marginal weather?

On the first mission I had bad weather, very bad weather... lots of rain and winds up to 15kts and big waves, very big waves... even my crew got sick.
Lost the frist 5 on that assault.
The now being 12 premature explosions (all but the stern torpedoes which I'm taking back for some testing in port) where all fired in calm seas (winds up to 3kts and clear sky's)
