Loading a torpedo tube with a torpedo, combat conditions, peace time, whatever, takes 15 minutes...
There is a lot that has to happen to the unit.
Some of the things that would seem to be very quick, is slowed down because you have to take your time and be QUIET about it. You drop a 85lb dolly on the deck would produce a rather large detectable transient.
One transient, is all it would take to bring your adversary's attention to that part of the ocean, raising his NRD and now you are counter detected.
