The external reserve torpedoes are in a special 'well' under the deck. A small crane is rigged to take them out of the well. They are placed into the boat via a specialized torpedo loading hatch.

These pictures were taken in port, so of course they are being loaded using a larger shoreside crane, but you can see the hatch clearly.
