Current Order No. 63 of November 43
Procedure for T V torpedoes 1) The increasingly strong defence of the enemy, compels us to take full advantage and make a success of every opportunity of firing which occurs, even when take by surprise. The TV is the weapon, qualified to make the U-boat the dangerous attacker and not the hunted, even in the case of clashes with the enemy. Since in the Iceland channel up to 20° West and in the Bay of Biscay to 2° West, anti-submarine surface patrols are mainly to be reckoned with, cruises through the maritime area are to be made with as many T 5's as possible in the tubes. 2) At night carry continually one bow and one stern tube, with T 5 if possible, ready to fire. That is to say: flood tubes, bow cap open. [...] 3) With unexpected targets, one should fire over the netcutter with positions between 20-160° ahead over the cam. N.B. In case our own U-boats should be operating in the same area, it must be remembered that firing is forbidden against U-boats unless definitely identified as the enemy.
