[Rockin Robbins]

I read an account where they actually had to move to torpedoes in this fashion. It involved a foolhardy several hours on the surface and floating the torpedoes around from bow storage to stern loading or the other way around, I forget which way they were switching torpedoes.

At any point a plane from one of the hunter killer groups could have ended their miserable lives in seconds. Hope the commander was busted because it was total stupidity.

Also imagine the damage to the self-esteem of the torpedo room crew who was so little valued by the captain that he risked all their lives to take their torpedoes. Time for that commander to be relieved of command.
