Not as much as you think. A significant chunk of the Navy's torps were lost in the Philippines early on, and it took some time to increase production. [I'm talking about the Mk. 14's, I don't know how many Mk. 10's we had.]

Haven't you read about the much disliked mine laying missions, and the poor endorsements skippers got when they used more than two torpedoes on a ship?
