The option to equip Mark 10 torpedos no longer appears for any boat but the S class, as it was the only boat that acutally used this WW1 era torpedo. All other boats used Mark 14's.

I really don't want to be a smart @ss but that is not correct. Clay Blair states in "Silent Victory" on page 344 that USS Seadragon had to take Mark X torpedos on board.

He was loaded with old Mark X torpedoes left over from the S-boats because Christie wanted to keep all the available Mark XIVs for the Brisbane boats.

So would it be possible to have the Mk X torpedos available for the Asiatic fleet subs until the beginning of 1943?
