No guts no glory. I wouldn't have found 8 tubes if I didn't experiment. There is more to it because of the functionalsubsystems.
Try a copy and paste and don't change anything, they are linked to the TorpmountS1 and S2 which are stern mounts but mine worked without changing it. If you need to change that then you may need to change the functionalsubsystem, but I don't know if you can add two bow tubes, never tried it. But we can cross that bridge when we get to it.
Because it is working I would guess the sub is using the .dat file info and they shoot forward and show as forward, but in base it must use the .upc file and that is why you have 8 at sea and 6 in base. Just guessing haven't tried it.
Another thing that may need changing is the tubes in the .sim file under wpnsubtorpedosystem or something like that (you will recognize it) there are slots for tubes and slots for forward and aft storage.
I am trying to help another on a ship right now too, it won't load and he asked for help. Still looking, lot of files and info.

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.WeaponSlot 1] <-- Need to change this

This is the Functional Subsystem (The one that says don't change:rotfl Just kidding it just says some IDs can't be changed.

[UserPlayerUnit 1.FunctionalSubsystem 22]
ID= TorpedoTube7
NameDisplayable= Torpedo Tube 7
FunctionalType= WeaponTorpedo
IDLinkFunctionalSubsystemSlots= ConningTDC, 0, TorpMountS1, 1

If we have to change it would only be the yellow part to TorpMountB7, but I'm don't know if there is a limit. And it may not need to be changed, it may just control how the tube loads and fires, not whether it is bow or stern. They put them on ships so I don't see a problem.
