 Indeed. The gravity issue of hanging 'eels' awaiting reloading notwithstanding, the issue of having the inner torpedo hatch open during a depthcharge attack to reload places a over-abundance of faith on the outer door's watertight integrity during close concussion shock and maneuver depth-changing integrity... both doors closed would be best under such circumstances imho!
