Good point. I have also wondered what would happen if the sub had to emergency dive while removing the external torpedoes. I have had to do this and of course when I resurface the process of loading the externals just starts where it got left off. Its entirely possible that they could be lost altogether.

@ Oneshot/Onekill, those are all good points. Daytime attacks were avoided if possible. I am considering not using them after 1940. In my typeIIA fuel does often become the reason I have to return to base and with malfunctions on there have been times in bad weather where my top speed was only 8 knots.

There are also cases where a sub returns to base because of a crew member illness or injury. I have wondered how you maintain silent running if half your crew has colds or the flu.
