Torpedo Loadout for Supply Missions - anybody know?

[panthercules]

Finally got my first supply mission, running some vital materiel to our gallant boys still holding out on Bataan. Got me wondering, and I haven't been able to find any historical data/accounts about this yet - would it be normal for a sub on one of these supply missions to take a full complement of torpedoes on the mission, or would they have perhaps skipped some or all of the torpedo reloads in order to make more room for supplies to be dropped as part of the mission? As skipper, of course, I'd be pushing hard to take a full load of torps, but on the other hand, if the supplies are that desperately needed that they'd divert a sub from its primary purpose and best and highest use, you'd think the powers that be might decide that delivering the maximum possible supply tonnage would make more sense.

Anybody have any historical data/facts to say what the practice was for these types of missions? If they skimped on the torps I'd like to do the same when I go on these missions, as having fewer torps than usual would presumably alter the mission profile for these sorts of patrols more than just being a normal patrol where you happen to stop by a beach on the way.
