This is an old trick, refitting, loading the tubes, refitting again.
In practice you can patrol indefinatly by re-fitting, just dont call home with less than 6 torpedoes on your boat and they will keep giving out new missions.
In theory its a 'cheat' most of the tenders had fuel, food, toilet paper, etc. They did not have torpedoes. Even if they did they dident have an endless supply maybe 5 or 6 at best let alone 'types' to choose from.
Its cool though play as you wish
My crew likes to return home on occassion...
By the way 'women' would have been hard to come by in these remote ports.
