Also, I was thinking of changing the Volume and PackSize since:

Conventional submarines were also used as minelayers. In 1943, they could carry eleven Mark 10 or Mark 12 mines in place of three torpedoes and many mini-minefields were laid as a result, some quite effectively.
11 mines for 3 fish. 3.66 mines per fish.
.zon was just for test runs ( big bang to make sure it worked ) will tone it down when I release RSRDC. good idea about "volume & size"
