#7 tube blown?? Quirk maybe?

Somewhere in the Solomon Islands I got a refit ( Cow?---striped anchor anyway ). Just before I left I checked my load and noticed #7 tube not filled, I tried several times to push a torp in the tube with my cursor ( second pic about 20 hours later after I sunk two merchants ) and it would not go.

My rear torpedo room was in top shape as were the men in it and they were not on "Silent Running", nothing in 'Damage Management' ( Y key ) showed any problems with anything let alone the torp rooms. But no matter what I tried I could not put a torp in the tube. Maybe the tube was damaged somehow but I do not recall a message nor did I hear any one holler about it. I do not think this is a bug ( but I do wish I was warned

) as through out this sim I'm finding a lot of what could be quirks may have really happened to the Sub Skippers in real life. I like many have thought bad thoughts about the SH4 Devs once in awhile but DARN they are good at some of the unusual so called 'quirks' that they throw in the Sim once in awhile.

It does keep you on your toes.

Has anyone had this "empty tube" headache happen to them.

P.S. On second thought you would think that if the tube was damaged it should have been fixed at the time of 'refit' but then again maybe the facilities could not repair the tube?
Way to go Devs,you have me pulling my hair out ( whats left of it

).
