Cycle Tubes

Dogfish40 · 11-02-10, 09:31 AM

I am asking this question because I have not been able to find a direct answer or explanation, even though I have been reading a lot of the WW2 submariners manuals and protocol.
Here go's; What exactly is "Cycle Tubes"??

I know about opening and closing tube doors, all at once or one at a time.
I have read that Crews would, on occasion, have to pull the torpedoes out of the tubes and check them and reload them. I haven't found an explanation for "Cycle Tubes".
Thanks
